[texpoint-users] Problems with embedded fonts

George,

 yes, if I convert the Texpoint object to a picture with a collection of text objects, PowerPoint saves the fonts OK and the document looks as expected on other computers. However, then the equation is no longer a TexPoint object and can't be edited with Texpoint, so this is not an acceptable solution.

I guess I will have to settle for bitmaps this time around. :(

Thanks for trying to help!

/Markus

You right-click on the picture and select "Edit Picture".

Hello,

pardon my ignorance, but how do I convert a figure to a text box?

Hi,

  Powerpoint has a bug: even if you tell it to embed the fonts, it won't do so for the characters used in images. The trick with the out-of-slide box is my attempt to work around this bug (and let PPT see the font). I am not sure why it does not work for you.

 You can test that this is indeed a problem by converting the figure to a text box and seeing if you still have a problem.

George.

I'm using TexPoint v.3.1.1 with PowerPoint 2007, v.12.0.4518.1014. I create LaTeX material in display mode with the EMF format. I've told PowerPoint to embed ALL characters from ALL fonts that are being used and I've left the little out-of-slide TexPoint  box for the first slide untouched. Still, when I open the ppt on a different machine, the equations look all wrong!

I've enclosed a sample.

Anyone who has an idea about what's going wrong?

Thanks
