SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You create a presentation in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. Additionally, you perform one of the following actions:
- You save the presentation in PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation format with embedded fonts.
- You use the Package for CD feature to save the presentation.
When you open the presentation on a different computer, the original fonts are replaced by other fonts.
CAUSE
This issue occurs because the fonts that you used are restricted fonts. Additionally, the fonts cannot be embedded.
WORKAROUND

- Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Save As.
- In the Save as type list, click PowerPoint Presentation.
- Click Tools, and then click Save Options.
- Under Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation, click to select the Embed fonts in the file check box.
- Click OK, and then click Save.
- A warning message appears if the presentation contains fonts that have embedding restrictions. Replace the restricted fonts with fonts that do not generate a warning message when you save the presentation. To do this, follow these steps:
- On the Home tab, click the arrow next to Replace in the Editing group, and then click Replace Fonts.
- Select a font in the Replace list, and then select a similar font in the With list.
- Click Replace.
- Repeat steps 7b and 7c as needed to replace other fonts, and then click Close.
