Embedded fonts

[Cathy Sager]

2 questions:

1) Do embedded fonts usually increase the size of a
Powerpoint drastically? I have a presentation that jumped
from 1.3 to 4.5 MB, simply from embedding a single
TrueType font. Can this be a result of the properties of
the font itself?

2) Secondly, can PowerPoint "hide" fonts? In my
presentation, I am using Arial and a TrueType font called
Smilage. However, when I Save As to embed Smilage, a
message box appears saying that two other fonts cannot be
saved because they're not installed. I don't know where
these fonts are in the presentation. I'm unable to find
them using the Replace Fonts tool, I assume because
they're not installed. Is there a way to locate these
fonts and delete them?

Cathy,
1)
Yes embedding fonts does increase the filesize. but 1.3 to 4.5 is dramatic!
2)
You probably have an object, or a graph that is using this font.
Try ungrouping some objects/clipart etc to see if it shows up in the replace
fonts feature.

cheers

Not quite, it would depend on the font being for example Unicode Arial
font file is 24 MB in size.

24mb for a font! you're joking!

I remember when 'puters had 1k of ram and no hard drive. 24mb for a font is
taking the p.

Well ... 24mb's a bit extreme, but I think it's a kind of special-case font.
ISTR that it includes glyphs in each "slot" of the Unicode standard,
something that you'd ordinarily never run into.
