PPT97: Font Substitutions - Macintosh to Windows

• Microsoft PowerPoint 97 For Windows

SUMMARY

This article provides information about substituting fonts when you convert presentations from the Apple Macintosh to the Microsoft Windows platform.

MORE INFORMATION

If you convert a presentation from the Macintosh to Windows, you might not have the same fonts on both computers. The following table shows how you can convert Macintosh fonts by replacing them with Windows fonts.

Replace this Macintosh font	With this Windows font
Avant Garde	Century Gothic
Bookman	Bookman Old Style
Helvetica	Arial
N Helvetica Narrow	Arial Narrow
New Century Schlbk	Century Schoolbook
Palatino	Book Antiqua
Times	Times New Roman
Zapf Chancery	MonoType Corsiva
Zapf Dingbats	MonoType Sorts

To replace a Macintosh font, click Replace Fonts on the Format menu. In the Replace and With boxes, click the fonts you want to replace and substitute. PowerPoint replaces the font but retains the Macintosh font name.

NOTE: To replace either Zapf Dingbats or Zapf Chancery, you must have a Postscript printer set as the default printer for your system, otherwise the fonts will not be replaced.
