I asked a simple technical question in this thread.
Did it get answered?

Did mine above by you?

My question was on topic.
Hence, any on-topic technical question of the newsgroups infested with
babies will _never_ get answered correctly.

It's only on the adult newsgroups that technical topics are answered
correctly and with sufficient detail to reproduce accurately.

To wit: *These are empirical facts.*

Q: Can Mac Adobe Illustrator read in a Microsoft PowerPoint with fonts?
A: No.

Q: Why not?
A: Lots of reasons why not.

Q: What are the technical details?
A: Mac MS Office can't read the embedded fonts in the Windows Office docs.
A: Adobe Illustrator can't read standard MS Office PowerPoint file format.
A: Adobe Illustrator can't read embedded fonts (in the Office-generated PDF).

Q: What's 1 solution to work around that lack of Mac & AI functionality?
A1: "Just give up" (as usual for Apple users) & load the font into the Mac.
A2: Don't just give up & do all final work on the Windows system with the font.
A2: Then control+v, control+a, control+shift+o to convert fonts to shapes.

Then just hand the printer the Windows AI file with fonts converted to shapes.

Note to dorayme:

The Apple users will likely *scream* bloody murder that these aren't facts,
and yet, these are the inconvenient facts that are so far beyond their
technical competency, that's all they can do is scream that facts aren't
facts.

In general, the Apple posters on this newsgroup prove time & again:
1. They are technically incompetent, so they can't possibly be helpful.
2. Even if they were technically competent, they have no helpful intent.
3. Hence, they just guess (where they're wrong as much as the monkey is).

All the Apple Apologists can do well is endless off-topic rants.
Just watch (since you're one of them).
