The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0 
 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0c 
 - Microsoft PowerPoint for Macintosh, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY
=======

The following information is about substituting fonts when you convert
presentations from the Macintosh to the Microsoft Windows platform.

MORE INFORMATION
================

From PowerPoint 7.0 Help: When you convert a presentation from Apple Macintosh
to Microsoft Windows, you might not have the same fonts on both computers. You
can replace fonts that you don't have with fonts you do have.

1. In Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, click Replace Fonts on the Tools menu.

2. In the Replace box, click the font you want to change.

3. In the With box, click the font you want to substitute.

   The following table illustrates how fonts for PowerPoint presentations are
   converted from Apple Macintosh to Windows. If the exact font name exists on
   both computers, PowerPoint uses that font. Otherwise, PowerPoint converts the
   font and retains the name, letting Windows perform its best mapping of the
   font.

   Macintosh font name     Windows font name
   -------------------     -----------------
   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

From PowerPoint 4.0 Help:

   PowerPoint checks if the font name is in the table, then uses the table
   mapping. This is done so that fonts are mapped to TrueType fonts whenever
   possible. If the font is not in the table but the exact font name exists on
   the system, PowerPoint uses the exact font name. Otherwise, PowerPoint maps
   the font as FF_ROMAN, ANSI_CHARSET and retains the name, letting Windows
   perform its best mapping of the font.
