Summary:

Before using Genigraphics slide-making services to create slides from a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, there are certain format limitations to be considered:

  Genigraphics does not support Underline, Outline, or Shadow character formatting. If Underline is used, it is converted to Plain Text. Outline or Shadow typefaces are converted to Bold.   Genigraphics supports the following fonts in Plain Text, Bold, Italic, or Bold-Italic format: Avant Garde Gothic Bookman Courier Helvetica Helvetica Narrow New Century Schoolbook Palatino Times Genigraphics supports the following fonts in Plain Text format only: Symbol Zapf Chancery Zapf Dingbats No other fonts are supported. If another font is used, it is converted to a supported font according to the following table: Font Used Replaced By ——— ———– New York Times Monaco Courier Any other unsupported font Helvetica Any font size that is used in the presentation should be installed in the Macintosh system. If it is not, the font will be generated by QuickDraw based upon the closest available font size. This may cause unexpected results in the imaged slide.   Genigraphics does not support PostScript graphics. However, the PICT, PICT II, and Paint graphics formats are supported. 

Genigraphics is working to broaden its support of character and graphics formats. For more information, call the nearest Genigraphics Service Center. To obtain a Genigraphics phone list, query on the following words:
