When opening a file with embedded fonts in Powerpoint
2003, you receive the following error:
"This presentation cannot be edited because it contains a
read-only embedded font."
the full issue can be read here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;827405
The infuriating thing is that this renders any such file
as uneditable. I purchased some fonts and thought i was
using them legally, but much to my dismay I discovered
that these fonts had only "print and preview embedding
rights". the fast majority of my work is now completely
unusable due to mandatory software upgrades at work with
no apparent way to salvage the files.
this problem occurs in spite of installing these very
same fonts on the computer properly!! (contrary to what
MS's help files are saying)
here's my question:
does anyone know if it is possible (and how) to simply
STRIP the embedded fonts from the file, so that I can
then edit them without the fonts embedded? this would
seem like a REASONABLE solution that Microsoft should
have offered as a built in...
-thanks
