MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006Purchasing a true type font and using in PP?
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 > 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?

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: Make sure my chosen fonts are available http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00256.htm and here Embedding fonts http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00076.htm and here PowerPoint opens presentations as Read-Only, won't allow editing when fonts embedded http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00637.htm ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Yikes thanks for that Steve > > Hi there, > > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ > Yikes ,-) Sometimes I must sound like Marvin, The Paranoid Android. Pain in all the diodes down left side and a sense of gloom and doom strong enough to bring down anyone within eyeshot of my ascii. Looking at the bright side, if you're sending the presentations to a Windows-using audience and the font has sufficient embedding privileges, embedding it will work very nicely indeed. > thanks for that Steve > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
