PowerPoint does not warn about any missing font and opens the presentation without a hiccup. Next, we opened the same presentation on another computer that does not have the Capture it 2 font installed (see Figure 2 and compare with Figure 1).įigure 1: A non-standard font used in a PowerPoint slide.You will notice that we have used an uncommon font named Capture it 2, highlighted in red within Figure 1. Look at the slide you see in Figure 1 below. Let us understand this problem and the solution better with an example. There's no way to understand this behavior pattern. If you have two completely identical systems, and both do not possess the original font, then PowerPoint will arbitrarily choose two different fonts on both systems.If you have 500 fonts on your system, there's no way to understand why PowerPoint used a particular font as a substitute.
The font that is used as a substitute cannot be identified.The end-user has no idea that PowerPoint substituted one font with another.So what exactly is the problem? There are multiple problems here: Why does it do so? The reason is simple enough: the font used initially is not available on the other system. You then open this same presentation on another computer, and PowerPoint uses another font to display the text. The situation is familiar: you or someone else uses a non-standard font (not a PowerPoint-safe font) in your presentation.
