Can a computer view fonts and templates from a powerpoint presentation that is not available in it?

What I mean is, if I did a powerpoint presentation on my computer using fancy fonts(fonts that I downloaded), and also a powerpoint template that I downloaded, can it all be viewed using a different computer that has no fonts and templates that I'm using in my computer?





I'm doing a presentation for school, and I'm going to save my presentation in a pen drive, then take it to school to be presented. And I have to use the school laptop to plug in my pen drive.





I'm using Windows XP and so is the computer at my school.





Please help.|||What I suggest is to make 2 same presentation, just in case one failed and you do not have any way to test whether the fonts are able to be displayed correctly on a different computer.





First presentation is the one that uses your special fonts, and the other is using a common fonts that all computers have (Examples include Arial, Comic Sans and Times New Roman).





For your presentation that uses the special fonts, try to save it into another format by opening the powerpoint file, then go to File%26gt;%26gt;Save As. After that, change the file type to "Power Point Show (.pps)".





After that, try to run the .pps file in the school's PC and see whether it is able to render the font correctly. If not, then you can use the ones that uses the common font as a backup. Remember that if you are not sure that it will display correctly, at least you got another plan rather than screwing up the whole presentation (which happens to me in the past and in the end, wasted 2 weeks worth of tears and sweat of making the slides... ~~~%26gt;_%26lt;~~~)





Hope that helps =)





Edit:


Yes, Verdana and Trebuchet fonts are common for nearly all PC that has Windows XP and Office.|||if the fonts arent installed on the other computer, No.|||No, the fonts will not carry over to another computer.





If you decide to use fancy fonts found online and on your own personal hard drive on a presentation and attempt to open it on another computer (like making a presentation on your home computer and presenting it at school, for example), the computer at school will attempt to find close matches to the font you originally used if it can't find the exact one.





The presentation/template depends on the font resources on the local hard drive to render the text. If possible, you could get the actual font files you use for the presentation and bring those to your school and install them on that computer, though they probably won't let you do this.|||I know that, once times, my friend had exported that presentation to the program file, [Prsentation].exe; so the file not be able to depending on the FONT any more, and nobody could adjust your file together, one act get two result.


But I don't remember right now, if you still have to do that, I will ask him about that, so reply me,


Bye,

鈥?Got to "Tools %26gt; Options"


鈥?A dialog box with appear with options at the top pf the box. Click on "Save"


鈥?There's an option called "Embed True Type fonts" under "Font options for curent document only". Once you click on this, you have two options: Embed Characters in Use and Embed all Characters.


The first is ok if the file is for presentation only, while the other gives you the options to change the text in the document using the same font. The 2nd option is ideal if you're dealing with data that is currently updated (i.e.: annual statistical data), though the file size will increase dramatically. Otherwise, the 1st will do if there is no further changes in the presentation.|||Hey, bracesbabe. Using of latest fonts in your system cannot be displayed on other systems unless it is installed with same version of Powerpoint. Let me explain you in detail.





If "Computer A" is installed with Powerpoint 2007 and "Computer B" is installed with Powerpoint 2003, If you edit the PPT with latest fonts on "Computer A" the same font cannot be displayed on "Computer B" due to compatiblity between two versions.





The PPT can be viewble if both the computers are installed with Powerpoint 2007.





Is the information clear or should I explain in more detail?
