The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft PowerPoint 97 For Windows
SUMMARY
The following versions of PowerPoint support TrueType font embedding:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a, 7.0b
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0c
TrueType font embedding is a method for including TrueType fonts with
your presentation, so that if you open the presentation on a computer
that has a different set of fonts installed, the text in that presentation
still uses the original fonts.
NOTE: Some TrueType fonts cannot be embedded. These fonts have copyright
restrictions built in to them.
If you open a PowerPoint 4.0 or 7.0 presentation in PowerPoint 97, and
that presentation contains embedded fonts, those fonts appear correctly
until you save and re-open the presentation. When you re-open the
presentation, the fonts still have the correct names, but they
display and print using substitute fonts (fonts which are actually
installed on your computer.)
MORE INFORMATION
PowerPoint 97 supports Edit-level TrueType font embedding. This means that
if you open a presentation that contains embedded fonts, you can use those
fonts on other text within the same presentation, but you can't use them
in other presentations.
There are other levels of TrueType font embedding. PowerPoint 4.0, for
example, supports Install-level. When you open a PowerPoint 4.0
presentation that contains embedded TrueType fonts in PowerPoint 4.0,
PowerPoint actually installs those fonts on your computer. You can then
use those fonts in other presentations or even in other programs.
Because PowerPoint 97 cannot embed TrueType fonts in presentations that
are saved as version 7.0 or version 4.0 files, the fonts in your
presentation may look different on other computers if you do one or
more of the following:
- Use the Pack and Go Wizard to pack your presentation
- Save your presentation as PowerPoint 95 & 97 format file
- Save your presentation as an ActiveX PowerPoint Animation.
NOTE: If you export your presentation as a series of HTML documents (Web
pages), this issue does not apply. When PowerPoint converts a presentation
to HTML, each individual slide is saved as a GIF or a JPEG image. These
images are self-sufficient; they include pictures of your slide text in
the font that you chose. It doesn't matter whether the font is installed
on your audience's computers or not.
