How to maintain my font and prevent font substitutions when I distribute my PowerPoint presentation?

Solution:

When distributing your presentation, or playing your presentation from another computer, you cannot always guarantee that the machine chosen to play your presentation has the same font or fonts that you used to create your presentation.

If PowerPoint does not find the same font on the machine from which it will play, then it will substitute the font for another font. This substitution can totally change the look, feel, and expression of your presentation, as well as alter the format and position settings of your work, as different font sizes, kerning, and format attributes differ from font to font.

To prevent font substitution, and maintain your PowerPoint presentation font settings:

1.Open the PowerPoint presentation you wish font settings to be maintained for distribution
2.Choose Save AS... from the File menu
3.Click the Tools button to the upper right hand side of the dialog box
4.Click Embed TrueType Fonts
5.Save the presentation
