Error when embedding fonts.

Question

I receive this warning when saving a powerpoint file where I selected to embedded fonts "Some of your fonts can't be saved" and the listed fonts were not used in my presentation. Why I keep receiving this message and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

Most likely, the fonts are being used for bullets. There is no easy fix on a Mac. You'll have to check every text level on every slide master and slide layout, as the Replace Fonts utility doesn't check bullet fonts. Here's my article on the subject with more detail about why this happens and how to prevent it: PowerPoint Font Embedding - Best Practices The article also has a fix if you have access to PowerPoint for Windows.

Answer 2

Dear Vicki,

Here is also a thread John shared on the forum for your reference.

If you haven't tried it, I suggest you give it a try to see and let us know the result.

Meanwhile, I'd like to confirm whether the issue occurs suddenly. If yes, what did you do before the issue occurred?

@John, thanks for sharing the suggestions and opinions here.
