fonts cannot be saved with the presentation

[JClark]

PPT 2003
I created a presentation on the desktop, transferred it to the laptop
and did a few touchups on it from the laptop. When I go to save the
file (on the laptop), it takes a long time,and I get this error
message:

"Some of your fonts cannot be saved with the presentation"
A770-Roman
Greyhound

Although I've never heard of or used these fonts intentionally, they
must have gotten into my presentation when created on the desktop and
now the laptop doesn't have them.

Question:
How do I install those peculiar fonts on the laptop, if that's the
easier solution, or how do I get rid of them in the desktop
presentation, which might be a better solution?

Many thanks.

Jack

I think there is a strong possibility you have it backward. You created it
on the desktop and it moved to the lappie fine, right? It's when you try to
save it on the lappie you see the problem. What I suspect is the font you
used to create it with on the desktop machine wasn't on the lappie and
PowerPoint (Windows) made a substitution, as it should, but the font it
picked as a replacement has restrictions on your distributing it. In such
cases PowerPoint insists that you solve the issue.

Austin,
Many thanks for the reference. I will check it out and report back.
Tied up today though with personal issues.
