Font Available On Other Computers

[Cindy]

Hi. I'm using a special TT font that I downloaded. Trouble is, when
I transfer my Word document to some other computer which is unlikely
to have the said font, it reverts to some other font that has nothing
to do with my intentions. How does one transfer a document and _keep_
the font without having a 3rd party go through the trouble of
installing it?

Give them a pdf rather than a Word file?

If it's embeddable, you can embed it. How you do that depends on your Word
version, which you have not told us.

Not all fonts can be embedded so even a .pdf file isn't a guarantee. The
only way to be certain is to create a graphic of the text in that font.

Hi everyone. My version is Word 2003. I specified "Embed TrueType
Fonts" in the Save Options but it does not seem to have worked. How
can one save it as an image? Also, is this problem true for
PowerPoint, too?

Thanks!

In that case, it may be that the license doesn't permit embedding. You can
copy a text selection and Edit | Paste Special | As Picture, but the quality
of results varies.

Thanks. I'll test it out with a couple of different combinations.
