Troubleshoot font problems If a presentation calls for a font that's not installed on your computer or embedded in the presentation itself, the text in that font might appear incorrect in any of several ways: • Characters 'piling up' at the beginning of each line of text (usually when a Type 1 / PostScript / ATM font is missing) • Text spacing problems • Text box positioning and sizing problems • Text that's the wrong size or in the wrong font When a needed font is missing, Windows chooses a substitute font from among the fonts that are installed on your computer. If it choose a font that's very similar to the missing font, the result may be acceptable, thought the spacing is still liable to be off.

The Missing Fonts Fix If you run into font substitution problems, either locate and install a copy of the needed font or use the Replace Fonts feature. Select the missing font in the upper list box Select a replacement for it in the lower list box Click Replace. This will permanently replace the missing font with the font you chose.

PowerPoint MVP TAJ Simmons has researched this and found that Replace Fonts finds fonts in: • Slides, of course • Slide Masters/Layouts • Notes pages • Some embedded objects (like pasted spreadsheets, graphs and org charts) It won't find and replace fonts in • Pictures and WMFs/EMFs • Bitmaps (JPGs, BMPs, PNGs, etc) But you can ungroup then regroup pictures to convert them to PowerPoint shapes; then PowerPoint will be able to find and replace fonts in the pictures too. How can I find out what fonts are missing?

If you suspect that your font problems are due to missing/substituted fonts, scroll to the correct section for your version of PowerPoint: PowerPoint 2007 and later Tracking down font substitutions in PPT 2007 and later isn't as simple as it used to be. The Replace Fonts dialog box no longer gives you any useful information. But there's still a sneaky way to get the job done.

Here's an example of a slide with font substitution problems. In the upper left, there's a text box formatted in a font called Aachen. I selected the text box then copy/pasted/As PNG in the upper right to get a picture of what the text should look like.
