Specify the default fonts for web-based presentations
You can control how your online presentation looks by
changing the default fonts. Presentations often use
fonts that are installed when PowerPoint is installed,
but the same fonts may not be available on the
systems viewers use to access a presentation online.
As part of the publishing process, you can specify
default fonts used in Web presentations. You can
specify proportional fonts and fixed-width fonts.
Proportional fonts allow each character to take up a
different amount of space. For example, a letter i
would be narrower than a letter w in a proportional
font. Fixed-width fonts dedicate the same amount of
space for every character.
You can specify proportional and fixed-width fonts.
Most browsers specify the use of default proportional
fonts (Web page fonts) and fixed-width fonts (plain
text fonts) when fonts are not specified on Web
pages, or when the specified fonts are not available.
By specifying the default fonts for a Web-based
presentation, you can control the fonts that your
audience sees when they view your presentation on
the Web.
