Purchasing a true type font and using in PP?

[Sydney teacher]

Hi there,

I like the look of TW cen font (Tru Type) - and want to use it in my PP show
- What's the process with this? Do I purchase it and then somehow apply it to
PP and 'embed' it so that the users of my cd rom can view it?

Thanks so much

Yikes

thanks for that Steve

You'd purchase the font and install it into Windows (Control Panel, Fonts).
Once you do that, it'll be available to all of your Windows programs, PPT
included.

You can then use it in your presentation and ... POSSIBLY ... embed it in the
PPT file so that ... POSSIBLY ... people who open the file automatically can see
the presentation in the correct font.

What's all this "POSSIBLY" foof? Have a read here:

PowerPoint opens presentations as Read-Only, won't allow editing when fonts
embedded
