Then follow up with Julie's update article here: You'll need to choose fonts that are not restricted if you must embed fonts better yet, choose fonts that are common to both platforms so that you don't NEED to embed fonts. The error message explains the problem reasonably enough, but I'd have bet that from PPT 2003 onward, PPT also gave you the option of substituting a different font for the restricted font when you opened files with restricted embedded fonts.Įven then, it's not the kind of experience you want to hand your clients.
