Font substitution

[SkipG]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Recently I opened a Powerpoint presentation prepared on a PC and one of the fonts used (Bradley Hand ITC) wasn't available on the Mac. The substituted font wound up wrapping to the next line.

Is there any way I can tell when fonts are being substituted? If I knew it was happening, I could address the issue properly.

Thanks,

Probably not as complete as you'd like, but if you display the Compatibility
Report palette of the Toolbox it will indicate when font substitution has
occurred. Clicking the instances listed will transport you to those
locations. The name of the font being substituted for appears in either of
the font lists. You can use Format> Replace Fonts to make a swap.

Also, File > Properties > Contents has a section telling you what fonts
are being used.
