This article was previously published under Q188901





SYMPTOMS
If you save a PowerPoint for Windows presentation with the Embed TrueType Fonts option turned on, those fonts don't appear when you open the presentation in PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition, although their names do appear in the Fonts list.



CAUSE
TrueType fonts for Windows are different from TrueType fonts for the Macintosh. You cannot use the same font file on both platforms. Also, PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition does not support TrueType font embedding.

The font names are retained, so if you edit a PowerPoint for Windows file that contains embedded fonts in PowerPoint 98, and then reopen it in PowerPoint for Windows, the new additions can have the same fonts as the existing text.
