Our slide conversion server supports system default fonts.
You can find the complete list of supported fonts at the end of this article.
When you need to use custom fonts in a PowerPoint file, you can embed them into the file by adjusting your PowerPoint's settings before saving.
By embedding custom fonts, audiences can view the slides as you see them on your computer after conversion.
Only TrueType and OpenType fonts can be embedded.
How to embed custom fonts:
You need to use a PowerPoint application to embed custom fonts.
On Windows
Open the PowerPoint application.
Click the File tab and then click Options (it's near the bottom left corner of the window).
In the left column, click the Save tab.
At the bottom, select the Embed fonts in the file check box under Preserve Fidelity when sharing this presentation.
Then, check Embed only the characters used in the presentation (best for reducing file size).
Click the OK button.
On macOS
Open the PowerPoint application.
Click the PowerPoint menu, then select Preferences.
In the dialog box, under Output and Sharing, select Save.
Under Font Embedding, select Embed fonts in the file.
Then, select Embed only the characters used in the presentation (best for reducing file size)
Then, when you save the file, the fonts used in it will be embedded.
Why are the embedded fonts not working?
Sometimes, the font embedding does not work as expected. Here are some possible causes.
Is the font not embeddable?
Not all TrueType fonts can be embedded. Font creators can set different options for their fonts, including Non-embeddable, Preview/Print, Editable, and Installable.
On Windows, to see what level of embedding your installed font is, go to C:\Windows\Fonts. Click on your font to view the Font embeddability setting.
Make sure your font does not show as "Non-embeddable."
On macOS, open the Font Book.app, click your font, and then click the information icon at the top right corner to view the font Embedding information.
Font embedding is not enabled:
The font embedding is configured per file. If you have a font embedded in an existing file and create a new .pptx file, you will need to enable the embedding again for the new file, even if you use the same font in your new file.
You can check if the font has been embedded successfully by comparing the file size before and after the embedding. Depending on the font's size, the file can grow at least a few hundred kilobytes after embedding is turned on.
The following screenshot shows the files' size with and without font embedded.
Avoid embedding large fonts:
Specific fonts can be huge compared to others, so if the file size is a concern, consider using alternative fonts. You can turn off the embedding setting and save the file if you want to remove the embedding.
When large fonts are used, audiences must wait much longer while the browser downloads the fonts. It will impact the audience experience, especially when they view the presentation from their mobile devices.
