MS/Mac crossover font issue...Help!
Hi all.

Ok, I'm on a Macbook, running OSX. However, I am using Powerpoint for Mac. I am submitting a poster to the printer's for a conference, and apparently I need to also submit my fonts that are on the poster.

My question, I guess, is: are the fonts in user/library/fonts the same fonts that are used in Powerpoint for Mac? For example, is Times New Roman in that folder the same as the one that I'm using in PP?

This may be a really stupid question...My brain is fried.

:hi:

1. Hi Bi-Baby
Try opening Font Book (in the Applications folder). Browse through the listings. When you find the font you're looking for, right-click on the name of the font and then choose "Reveal in Finder". This will take you to the font's actual location. Copy the file font and send it off to your printer with the PP presentation. Et voilà!

You should poke around in Font Book. This lists all the fonts installed on your Mac and their locations. If you haven't installed any fonts, Font Book should be pretty tidy. Some applications will install their own fonts (ie., games, etc.), so Font Book will help you find the fonts you're looking for.
