Embedding Fonts in Microsoft Powerpoint

Have you ever had to install and use fonts on a different computer because it won't support the ones you've used in your Microsoft Powerpoint presentation?? Then this is the post to read. You can actually embed the fonts in your ppt. By embedding fonts, Powerpoint saves the file with the fonts however it will do so by using up more space. But the extra space used is insignificant and I guess it's way easier to embed rather than installing new fonts wherever you run a slide show.
