Fontsize larger than 60 not possible?

Dieter Reuther

When creating a text with a size larger than 60 and a non-TrueType font the
text gets all messed up. All characters are pushed over each over.

Steve,

It is Powerpoint 2007 and it is happening with OTF and Postscript fonts.
TrueType fonts are OK.

Echo,

Thank you for the link, but none of the tips applies to our case.

I believe this is a bug in PowerPoint 2007. I can reproduce the problem on
all our systems.

Steve,

The fonts our corporate identidy is based on are OTF only. We also need OTF
to be compatible with our MACs. So we really have to use these fonts.

Can I as an end user report a bug without having to open a support case and
pay for it? I know I can call Microsoft and report the problem, but then I
never get any status updates and don;t know whether the issue has been fixed
or not.

Thanks,
Dieter

Hi Dieter,

Sorry, I don't have a solution, but I can confirm this to happen. But it
seems, that only Adobe fonts are concerned. Maybe you should also contact
Adobe (or the designer of your font, if it was created for your company).

Axel Becker blogged about it some days ago in his PowerPoint-TV blog:
http://www.ppt-tv.de/index.php/2007/08/27/powerpoint-2007-probleme-mit-grosen-schriften/
(as your name sounds German, I assume you might be able to read German).

Best regards,
Ute
