It's also a Mac newsgroup where the problem is that the Macs can't handle

"First off, if you use a Mac version of Office, you can skip the rest of
this page. Mac PowerPoint can't embed fonts, and it can't use fonts that
have been embedded by a Windows version of PowerPoint....
It's quite a stretch to say that Macs can't handle fonts as well as
Windows! Apple (inventor of desktop publishing *and* of TrueType fonts,
the basis for Open Type) is not to blame because MS crippled the Mac
versions of their office suite. They had to; if MSOffice for the
superior Mac OS had all the features of the Windows version that would
be the end of Windows in the enterprise.
