Fonts Not Embed In Ms Powerpoint For Mac

If you're using a Mac, I've got bad news. The Mac versions of PowerPoint can't embed fonts, nor can they use fonts embedded in a PC-born presentation. If you're using a PC, the fonts need to be TrueType for them to embed. In PowerPoint, you'll notice all fonts have either a TT (TrueType) or an O (OpenType) next to them in the font list. But here's the catch: some OpenType fonts have TrueType font data and can also be embedded. If you'd like to know if your OpenType font contains TrueType font, view your computer's Fonts folder ( Start > Control Panel > Fonts).

The ability to use embedded fonts was recently enabled in PowerPoint for Mac, and Microsoft is currently working to support embedding of fonts using PowerPoint for Mac. Yohandi should have referred you to this link, where you can add your vote to encourage Microsoft to bring this support to the PowerPoint for Mac.

Right-click within an empty space within the folder and choose View > Details. Fonts with file names ending in.ttf (whether TrueType or OpenType) contain TrueType font data and can be embedded. But wait, there's more! All embedding licenses are not created equal. There are three different types of embedding licenses.

Installable: Fonts may be embedded in documents and permanently installed on the remote system. Editable: Fonts may be embedded in documents, but must only be installed temporarily on the remote system.

Installable is great, but is pretty hard to come. In most cases, you're going to be looking for an Editable font. Unless you just want your presentation to be viewed, and not modified or edited in any way, I would steer clear of Print & Preview fonts. So, how do you know which type of license your font has? The easiest way is to download and install.

Doing so allows you to right-click a font from the Fonts folder and choose Properties to see the Embedding license (among many other properties). Note: Navigate to your Fonts folder and right-click a font before downloading the properties extension. You may already have a Properties option there. Whew, that was an awful lot like work!

On a positive note, finding out whether or not your font is embeddable is the hardest part. Once you know that a font can be embedded, embedding it is a simple process. • Open your presentation in PowerPoint. • If you are using PowerPoint 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button > Save As. If you are using PowerPoint 2010, choose File > Save As.

• From the Save As dialog box, click the Tools button and select Save Options. • Select Embed fonts and then click OK. • At the bottom of the Save area, select Embed fonts in the file. From there you can choose whether to embed all the characters, or just those used in the presentation.

If you are forwarding the presentation for further editing, you may want to include all characters. Keep in mind that embedding fonts will increase the file size of your presentation, especially if you embed all of the font's characters. *** AJ teaches a live, 3-hour class that offers tips/tricks for improving the look and feel of your PowerPoint presentations:.
