I get squares instead of fonts on a ppt presentation

[A&T]

Hi,
I'm a student and I got a ppt presentation from my Prof.
When I open it instead of some math fonts I get squares.
What to do?
I've installed ttf a,b,c on my computer and still it
didn't help.

thanks,
A&T

What font did your prof use?

A&T,

The reason that you get squares is because your Prof. used fonts that you do
not have on your computer. If he is using PP XP (aka 2002), he can correct
the problem by going to File/SaveAs. On the Save AS dialog box (at the top
left) is a Tools selection. Selecting this results in a drop-down menu.
Select Save Options. In the resulting dialog box check Embed True Type
Fonts. This must be done for each file when it is saved.

If you are using PP 2000, select Embed True Type Fonts from the Tools
drop-down menu in the Save As dialog box.

Regards;
David
