Installing PowerPoint’s Included Bitstream Fonts PSS ID Number: Q68704 Article last modified on 10-29-1991 PSS database name: W_PowerPt

2.00

WINDOWS

Summary:

The Bitstream Soft Fonts included with Windows PowerPoint version 2.00 cannot be installed without using the PowerPoint Setup program. The Bitstream font installation program cannot be accessed independently.

Also, the PowerPoint setup program will not allow you to install the fonts into a partition of your hard drive, where the POWERPNT.EXE file does not exist.

More Information:

If you want to install the fonts to a different partition than the one where the PowerPoint directory is located, you must either temporarily copy the POWERPNT.EXE file to that partition, or during the setup of the fonts, choose to also install the PowerPoint executable there. You can later delete the program file. Once installation is complete, the fonts will work successfully with Windows and PowerPoint, whether all the files are on the same disk partition or not.
