Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for printer setup and fonts.

Click the Fonts button under Printer Setup if you want to change the fonts used in a presentation to fonts available on your target printer. PowerPoint automatically substitutes fonts for you while printing if your printer does not have the fonts you request.

The font dialog box will have two columns. The left column will list all of the fonts in your presentation and indicate with a check box whether a substitution is currently taking place for specific fonts.

The second column contains drop-down menus that indicate what substitute fonts are being used. Click a checkbox if you want to substitute another font, and then choose a font from the associated drop-down menu. When a substitution is already taking place, the box will be checked when the dialog first appears.

The fonts listed in the drop-down menus are all of the fonts available on your target printer.

Clicking OK immediately accepts any substitutions in the dialog box.
