SYMPTOMS
========

When you save a PowerPoint 95 presentation with embedded fonts as a PowerPoint
4.0 presentation, the font embedding information is lost.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PowerPoint version 7.0 for
Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.


RESOLUTION
==========

If your presentation uses fonts that you suspect may not be available on other
computers you may show it on, you will have to bring a copy of those fonts along
with your presentation. To do this:

1. Copy the font file(s) from your computer to a floppy disk. The font files
  will have .ttf extensions and will typically be found in your Windows\Fonts
  folder (Windows 95) or your Windows\System directory (Windows NT).

2. Install the fonts on the destination computer by running Control Panel and
  choosing Fonts.

For more information on installing fonts in Windows 3.x, Windows NT, or Windows
95, please consult your documentation or online help.

NOTE: Some TrueType fonts have copyright restrictions. Check the license
agreement that came with your TrueType fonts before copying them to other
machines.
