Embed fonts in PowerPoint presentations - how it works

If you use rare fonts in a PowerPoint presentation, you should embed them. This prevents a foreign computer from displaying the presentation incorrectly. Here we'll show you how it's done.

Embed fonts in PowerPoint

To insert fonts into a PowerPoint presentation, follow these steps. In the gallery below, we have illustrated the instructions for Office 2007 again for you in detail.

Powerpoint 2007: In PowerPoint, click on the MS Office icon to go to the main menu. For newer versions of PowerPoint, click on the "File" tab.
Open the PowerPoint options - at Powerpoint 2007 you will find the corresponding button below, in versions from 2010 in the left navigation column.
Select the menu item "Save".
Place a check mark next to the selection "Embed fonts in the file" (bottom entry in the options window).
To finally embed the fonts, you have to save the file. During the saving process, the information "Fonts are embedded" appears in the lower event bar.

Note that the size of a PowerPoint file increases as you add fonts to the presentation. It is therefore best to first embed the fonts in the finished version.
