Embed Fonts In Powerpoint 2011

Presentation Font Embedder's own exclusive embedding method, Universal, supersedes the built-in one that PowerPoint offers, in both portability and functionality. At the same time, Presentation Font Embedder also features PowerPoint's built-in Editable embedding method, for Mac users whose older PowerPoint 2011 and 2016 versions lack it. To embed fonts, open your PowerPoint presentation, click the “PowerPoint” menu option, and then select “Preferences.” In the window that appears, select “Save” in the “Output and Sharing” group. Now the steps are similar to PowerPoint for Windows. A different font is substituted for the font that had been embedded previously. To remove embedded fonts (Mac): Open the PowerPoint file on your computer. On the PowerPoint application menu, click Preferences. Under Output and Sharing, click Save. Under Font Embedding, clear the Embed fonts in the file check box. Save the file, then close. Embed New Fonts in Your PowerPoint File. So to fix this problem that comes from using custom fonts let's go to the file save as option. When we're preparing to save the file let's go to the Tools Save Options here at the bottom of the Save window. On this window there's an important box we need to check that's off by default.

Third-party fonts are not embedded in a PowerPoint presentation by default. Therefore, if you send it to a colleague, text might not appear correctly. Custom fonts are automatically substituted with a standard font if the recipient’s computer (or website) doesn’t have the desired font installed.

Check font file properties

Before embedding a font, make sure that the font file is not read-only, and that it is available for embedding.

  1. Log in as Administrator (to change font file attributes if necessary).

  2. Open File Explorer and go to C:WindowsFonts.

  3. Find the font that you used in your presentation (e.g., Lobster Regular).

  4. Right-click the font and select Properties.

  5. Remove the Read-only attribute if it’s checked, and then click OK.

  6. Go to the Details tab. Make sure that the Font embeddability property is either Installable or Editable. Otherwise, you cannot embed it.

PowerPoint 2010, 2013, 2016:

  1. Open a presentation that you want to share.

  2. Go to the main PowerPoint menu on the upper-left corner.

  3. Select Options.

  4. Go to the Save options on the left.

  5. Find the embedding options at the very bottom and check Embed fonts in the file. Here, you can either embed only the characters used in the presentation’s text, or the font's entire character set. To be safe, we recommend that you select Embed all characters, though it will take more space.

  6. Under the Preserve fidelity... dropdown menu, you can select the current presentation only, or apply this setting to all presentations that you save.

  7. Click OK and save the presentation.

Now that the fonts are embedded in your .pptx file, you can send it to a colleague or upload it to the Internet, and keep all the fonts displayed exactly as in the original PowerPoint.

Note: the file size can grow dramatically if you embed all font's available characters. Each font can take up to several megabytes of the published presentation size. Don’t use more than two non-standard fonts in your presentation to keep a consistent design and small file size.

Other font issues

Some commercial fonts are protected with DRM and are not available for embedding. You can check this out in the font file properties via the Details tab. In this case, please choose another font; there is no simple and legal workaround.

Also, some downloaded fonts might contain errors in the charset, so they will not be processed correctly either. This is a rare occasion though.
