e205 - The Saga of Fonts in PowerPoint, with Julie Terberg
Episode #205: If you use PowerPoint, having a base understanding of font file types and options is important. A new whitepaper by Microsoft MVP for PowerPoint Julie Terberg, titled "Choosing fonts for PowerPoint templates" is a (free!) great resource. Displaying letters, numbers, and symbols takes layers of complex behind-the-scenes code. And if a non-Microsoft font is used, the complexity becomes more complex - and if the non-Microsoft fonts are not available on that computer, or not recognized on that computer, the slide design can go to $#@!. On this episode Troy, Nolan, and Sandy enjoy time conversing with Julie Terberg about fonts in PowerPoint presentations.
