MACINTOSH WINDOWS

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for the Macintosh, version 4.0 == 

= 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 for the Macintosh, although their names do appear on the Fonts list.

= CAUSE =

TrueType fonts for Windows are different from TrueType fonts for the Macintosh. You can’t use the same font file on both platforms. Also, PowerPoint for the Macintosh 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 for Macintosh, and then reopen it in PowerPoint for Windows, the new additions can have the same fonts as the existing text.
