Embed Fonts in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac

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:

1. Open the presentation within which you want to embed fonts. Select the PowerPoint | Preferences menu option as shown in Figure 1.

7. Embed only the characters used in the presentation: This option will only embed characters you have used in your presentation. For example, if you create a single slide presentation with just one text box that contains the word 'AFTER', then only capital-case characters of five alphabets will be embedded. If you want to edit the text later, and do not have the embedded font on your system, then you will not see the original font used!
8. Embed all characters: This options gets over the limitation explained in the preceding paragraph!
7. Close the dialog box to accept these changes.
