Postscript fonts in powerpoint 2008

[André Seidel]

In word i can use postscript fonts for mac. In powerpoint i can change a
truetype font to a postscript font, but the font does not change. For
example Arial (truetype) to DIN Mittelschrift (postscript), but powerpoint
show always Arial.

Thanks.

Seems like there is a bug in Powerpoint 2008.
In the Fontlist from the floating Palette you choose the "FOND Name" of the
Font, but Powerpoint internally uses the "Full Name"

These two are very often identical but this is just coincedence.
If you choose the Font from Format->Font, it should work, however.

Another way is to change the FOND Name using ResEdit - if your License of
the Font allows that.

Best regards
