Embedded fonts inside a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation change after conversion

Issue

The font originally chosen in a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation is changed once that presentation is converted and uploaded to the Breeze server.

Reason

The Breeze server does not have that font type installed. When using a font that is not installed on the Breeze server, the closest matching font that is available will be used as a substitute.

Solution

Depending on the type of Breeze account you have, there are potentially two ways to resolve this issue.

Option #1(Breeze Hosted Account)

In the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, select File > Save As.
In the Save As dialog, select Tools > Save Options.
Check the "Embed TrueType fonts".
Select either "Embed characters in use only" or "Embed all characters". If "Embed all characters" is chosen, the file size will be larger.
Click OK and click Save.

Note: The same steps can be taken if you have a Licensed Account. However, if there's a concern in regards to the file size increase due to the embedded fonts and you have a Licensed account, see Option 2 below.

Option #2(Breeze Licensed Account)

Instead of embedding the fonts within the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, the Breeze administrator can install the fonts on the server. Since the fonts will not need to be embedded in the presentation, there should be no increase in file size.
