= README HELP =

Substituting Fonts When Converting Presentations from Microsoft Windows to Apple Macintosh.

If the same font name used within Windows also exists on the Apple Macintosh, PowerPoint will use that font. If the font name cannot be found, TrueType fonts in PowerPoint presentations on Windows are mapped to corresponding TrueType fonts on the Apple Macintosh, described in the following table. If the font does not exist within the table and cannot find an exact font match, PowerPoint on the Apple Macintosh will default to the “Geneva” font.
