Have you ever been in a situation where your presentation looked so awesome with some amazing typography, but when you opened the same presentation on another computer, the text looked positively terrible! This behavior may happen if the font you used is not available on the other computer. The best solution to this problem is to use safe fonts that are available on most computers, or you may also explore the option to embed fonts in your PowerPoint presentation.
Follow these steps to embed fonts in your presentation in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac:
Remember to open your presentation on a computer that does not have your embedded font installed to make sure that the font has indeed been embedded. If you find that the font was not embedded, it could be that you are looking at the presentation on PowerPoint for Mac, or other PowerPoint versions for tablets and phones. Font embedding is only supported on PowerPoint for Windows.
Also, only True Type fonts support embedding, and even then they must have embedding options enabled. Confused? Look at our Can this font be embedded? page for a more detailed description.
