Powerpoint: Error in Fonts when presenting on different Machine

Asked By Johanna 100 points N/A Posted on - 05/07/2011

I created a presentation in PowerPoint. When I loaded it up in the presentation machine, the fonts on certain slides are substituted with different fonts!

Basically the slides are a mess when put on the presentation machine but looks fine in my own machine. How can I get both to look the same?

There is another way,  you can embed the fonts when you save the file.

• Open your Power Point file and select "Save as" in the File menu.
• On the dialog box, there will be a menu called Tools.
• Select it and select the menu item called "Save Options…"
• On the subsequent dialog box there is a section called "Embed True Type Fonts". 
• Turn on the option and then save.

Now your PowerPoint file will have all the necessary fonts embedded in it. You should not have any trouble with fonts again!
