Fonts question

[Guest]

I discovered people don't have my special Fonts files for viewing my
..htm presentation which I burned into CD. Where should I insert those
Fonts files (in CD) so people can instantly view my original Fonts ---
without them to copy all my special Fonts files to their C:// Windows /
Fonts folder?

TIA,
--Rino

Rino,

Does it have to be html? PowerPoint will let you save with fonts embedded.
Seems easier to me. But I don't know what your project involves.

Not possible with HTML. They'd have to install the fonts in order to use them.

Hi Glen. Thank you for your swift reply.

Does it have to be html?

NO, because I started in .ppt format then resaved into .htm format and
YES, so that others can easily open it with their own browser and because
ALL PC's got a browser ;o)

PowerPoint will let you save with fonts embedded. Seems easier to me.

Thanks and I like that BUT I normally used PowerPoint-xp, chose my Fonts,
converted to .htm format and burn to CD. Unfortunately, others PC's cannot
utilize the Fonts I've inserted inside the CD? Is there a way I missed?

Do I need a script to instruct PPT to always uses my Fonts? Please show
me how you tackle it?

TIA,
Rino

P.S.// My projects involves inspirations, encouragements, religious,
good family matters, etc.

Thank you Steve! For helping me again and again.
I wish it is possible because like all regular HTML or Web Pages it followed
our fonts embedded instructions. Why PPT NOT follow that instruction in
..html format?

You can't embed fonts in regular web pages; in stock HTML/CSS there can be a series of suggested
fonts, and the browser will try to match each in order. If it can. Usually the last suggestion on
the list is a generic Serif or Sans Serif, which tells the browser to use its default for serif/sans
ses serif, whatever that may be.

Do you have the url for an example page that appears to use an embedded font?
I'd be interested to see it.

This'll give

them a choice if they want to see my true presentation as I liked it
created.

But you're not working with a PPT presentation any longer, you're now
working with HTML. And the font thing is a limitation of HTML.

What .ttf font is shown here: Love Poem? Is this not a regular web page?

That page uses images of the text. You could do that. Copy your textbox and
use Edit|Paste Special. Choose PNG from the list. With images, you don't
need the font.

 

[Guest]

Yessssss! That works beautifully! You're the best Echo S! Thanks a
Bunch! I knew there was a solution! I've tested 3 slides with Custom
Animation and I found 5 are grayed out: 1. Color Typewriter, 2. Faded
Swivel, 3. Swish, 4. Unfold, & 5. Whip. Also; I lost the benefits of editing
texts BUT I could at least arrange their positions, color and sizes.

Now people are more happier --- no need to install fonts. I'll create 2
version for people who like my original Custom Animations with a
separate Fonts folder.

All The Best To All!

[Echo S]

Yes, with images, you'll lose some of the animations specific to text. As
I'm sure you're aware, you can add different ones if you want, though they
won't be quite the same.

At any rate, I'm glad we've found something that works for you.

[later] Ah. Echo got here first. O well. It's written, may as well post it anyhow.

I am looking for a Script or Macro that I could easily insert my
Fonts and when
people click my presentation file it'll automatically
installed in their Fonts folder.

Before you go there, are you licensed to distribute the fonts?
If not, handing them out like jellybeans can get you into a world of trouble.

What .ttf font is shown
here: href="http://www.riversongs.com/fun/poem.html" target=_blankLove Poem?
Is this not a regular web page?

No, it's a Flash file embedded in a web page. I don't know how Flash handles text, but most
likely the font's converted to graphics. No TTF fonts involved.

That's another approach you might consider:

Use a program like Illustrator or Corel Draw that can convert fonted text to a series of
vector graphics that just *look* like the actual text. Or in PPT, copy your text, then
choose Edit, Paste Special, as PNG to paste it back in as a graphic. You won't be able to
edit the text afterwards, but you won't need installed fonts to display it either. And you
won't have lawyers clinging to your wallet.


A newly

installed Windows-xp has only 92
fonts and I need Cooper Black, Exchequer
Script, & Mitral all .ttf
extensions which are considered ordinary fonts.

Sorry, only in CD --- I
promised you'll see it if we can fix this problem ---
Give direction to
send & it is for your eyes ONLY ;o)

Cheers!
