SUMMARY

This article provides information about substituting fonts when you convert presentations from the Apple Macintosh to the Microsoft Windows platform.


MORE INFORMATION

If you convert a presentation from the Macintosh to Windows, you might not have the same fonts on both computers. The following table shows how you can convert Macintosh fonts by replacing them with Windows fonts.

Replace this Macintosh font With this Windows font
Avant Garde Century Gothic
Bookman Bookman Old Style
Helvetica Arial
N Helvetica Narrow Arial Narrow
New Century Schlbk Century Schoolbook
Palatino Book Antiqua
Times Times New Roman
Zapf Chancery MonoType Corsiva
Zapf Dingbats MonoType Sorts

To replace a Macintosh font, click Replace Fonts on the Format menu. In the Replace and With boxes, click the fonts you want to replace and substitute. PowerPoint replaces the font but retains the Macintosh font name.

NOTE: To replace either Zapf Dingbats or Zapf Chancery, you must have a Postscript printer set as the default printer for your system, otherwise the fonts will not be replaced.
