How to Ensure Arial Rounded MT Bold Prints Correctly in PowerPoint
Question details
The user wants to know if the Arial Rounded MT Bold font used in a presentation will maintain its appearance and print correctly when opened on a different computer or printer.
- Product
- PowerPoint
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Sharing or printing a presentation file on a different device that might not have the original fonts installed.
- Observed behavior
- If the font is missing on the target computer, PowerPoint will substitute it with a default system font, which changes the design and layout of the presentation.
Verify if the target computer or printer already has the Arial Rounded MT Bold font installed, as files will naturally print correctly if the font is available on the system.
Embed Fonts in the PowerPoint File
Embedding the font directly into your presentation file ensures that the exact font is preserved and displayed correctly, even if the target computer does not have it installed.
This is the most reliable method to prevent font substitution when sharing or printing presentations on different computers.
Open your presentation in PowerPoint. Click on the 'File' tab in the top-left corner of the ribbon, and select 'Options' at the bottom of the menu.
In the PowerPoint Options dialog box, click on the 'Save' tab in the left-hand pane.
Scroll down to the 'Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation' section. Check the box labeled 'Embed fonts in the file'.
Select either 'Embed only the characters used in the presentation' (best for reducing file size) or 'Embed all characters' (best if others need to edit the file). Click 'OK' and save your presentation.
Install the Font on the Target Computer
If you are unable to embed the font due to licensing restrictions or older software versions, you can manually install the Arial Rounded MT Bold font on the computer used for printing.
Embed Fonts Seamlessly with WPS Presentation
WPS Presentation provides a straightforward way to embed fonts into your slides, guaranteeing that your text layout and typography look exactly the same across all devices and printers.
- 1. Open Presentation: Launch WPS Presentation and open your slide deck.
- 2. Open Options: Click the 'Menu' button in the top-left corner and select 'Options'.
- 3. Go to General and Save: In the Options dialog, navigate to the 'General and Save' tab on the left.
- 4. Embed TrueType Fonts: Check the box for 'Embed TrueType fonts', click 'OK', and save your document to secure the fonts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my PowerPoint font change when I print on another computer?
If the computer you are printing from does not have the specific font installed, PowerPoint automatically substitutes it with a default system font. This can alter the character spacing, text alignment, and overall layout of your slides.
Does embedding fonts increase the PowerPoint file size?
Yes, embedding fonts adds the font data to your file, which increases its overall size. You can minimize this impact by choosing the option to embed only the characters used in the presentation rather than the entire font family.
Can I embed any font in my presentation?
Not all fonts can be embedded. Font creators embed licensing rights into their font files. If a font is marked as 'Restricted' or 'Print/Preview only' by its creator, PowerPoint will not allow you to embed it for editing purposes.
