In trying to avoid a fiat from management against non-Microsoft fonts in my PowerPoint presentations, I've been learning more about how to embed fonts within a PowerPoint 2007 presentation.
Microsoft's reference on the subject was my first destination: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HA010348241033.aspx This site actually included the technical details of PP font embedding that I was looking for: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00076.htm I instaled this Windows explorer extension that provides a surplus of information about font files, include their embeddability. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/TrueTypeProperty21.mspx So, I quickly learned that the OpenType version of Helvetica Neue I've been using won't be embeddable at all. (PowerPoint won't embed OpenType fonts, and the version of the font I have only allows preview and print embedding, anyhow.) Is anyone aware of online font search tools that filter based on the embeddability afforded by a font's license? Has anyone had positive experiences embedding respectable fonts in PowerPoint?
