Embedding Fonts

[Heather]

OK, I'm stuck again. I have a presentation that is going to be seen on
countless computers, and I am having trouble getting the font to embed
correctly. The users are not going to need to change anything, just watch
the presentations. The users are not going to be able to download the font,
even if I thought about having them install it (which I know is illegal by
the way)- I think just putting the CD in the drive may be taxing enough (some
of them do not know how to use a mouse). I am using PowerPoint 2003.

I have 2 fonts that are not showing correctly. I have already searched for
previous strings of this problem, and have been to
www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00076.htm as suggested by David previously. I
have searched my computer for the file ttembed.ini , which it doesn't seem to
have (I know this is crazy, but true- and yes, I did open the search to
hidden files). I have downloadrd, installed and used Microsoft's font
properties extension which tells me that one of the fonts has editable
embedding allowed, and the other has installable embedding allowed. I am
sure that my presentation is set up to embed true type fonts, but it doesn't
seem to be doing it. What am I missing?

I know that it is not embedded because when I go to a computer that does not
have the fonts, it substitutes different fonts. Unfortunately, I am not
talented enough to post the file on the web, but I would be happy to put the
incriminating slides into a new file to make the presentation smaller, and
e-mail them.

Well, I have to say that I wasn't expecting to be in such great company- with
others who have discovered bugs, but I am very honored.

Thanks, Steve, for taking so much time with me. I was also having trouble
with getting the initial font (the first font that showed on the screen) to
show correctly. I ended up putting the font into a separate text box as a
font I never use, then went to Format> Replace Fonts, put in the font that I
never use to be replaced, replaced it with the one that was not showing up,
and it then embedded fine! I also did what you said with the extra text box
for the second (and third and fourth) font, and that worked as well.

Thank you so much.

Just so you know, everytime someone tells me what a great job I did with the
technicalities of my presentations, I send them to this website. Thank You!
