Font type persistence in PDF export

[beyeb38077]

Question: On a textbox, if you set the font type to be a built-in font like "Forte" or "Calibre" , then export this pptx as PDF. Will the built-in font type persist when you open the PDF? Do you need to assign a font family file or it does it automatically?

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please note that before converting the file, you need to ensure that the font files used in the PPTX file have been installed in the system, otherwise the program will load a font with similar glyphs as a replacement. If a font with similar glyphs cannot be found, the generated PDF file may be garbled.

I'm using native font like `Arial` or `Calibre` which are already embedded. I'm not using custom fonts.

These native fonts should persist without embedding the font file yes? because they are already embedded.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.
Even if the font file has been embedded in the document, you still need to install the corresponding font file to the system.

Just to confirm — when converting a PPTX to PDF, whether you're using a standard font like Arial or a custom one like Avenir, do you need the font to be:

1. Embedded in the PPTX, and
2. Installed on your computer?

You need to do this for both standard and custom, it doesnt matter.

Is that correct?

Hello,

Thansk for your reply.
Yes, regardless of whether the font is embedded in the file or the font is a custom font, the font needs to be installed to the current system.

I have Arial installed on my machine but it does not work. Can you give me an example?

Here's the list of native font already installed on my windows machine.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.
Do you mean that after you installed the Arial font, the content in the pptx file using this font is not converted correctly? If so, please provide us with your test files and test code to help us investigate further. You can upload them as an attachment or send them to this email: [email protected]. Thanks in advance.Thanks in advance.
