Keep Your Powerpoint Presentation Fonts From Changing

Embedding Fonts in PowerPoint

The font embedding process is simple in all versions of PowerPoint.

Go to File and select Options. In the Options dialog box, select Save. At the bottom of the options list in the right panel, place a check next to Embed fonts in the file. Choose either Embed only the characters used in the presentation or Embed all characters. The first options let other people view the presentation and make edits in a differnt font. The second option permits viewing and editing, but it increases the file size. Select OK.

Unless you have size restrictions, Embed all characters is the preferred option.
