[texpoint-users] Problems with embedded fonts

Hi,

 

 I did not mean that this is a solution. I just wanted to verify that the
problem is indeed that PPT does not saves all the needed fonts. Perhaps you
can file a bug report with PPT :-)

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. L

 

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
