You declared the Mac version of PowerPoint couldn't handle documents
with fonts embedded.

That is wrong.

No, that is a correct fact. The Mac version of PowerPoint cannot embed
fonts and cannot read fonts embedded using the Windows version.

I'm sorry, but that is incorrect.

While it cannot embed fonts, the Mac version of PowerPoint reads
embedded fonts just fine.

'PowerPoint 2016 for Mac correctly displays fonts that were embedded by
someone using a device running Windows, but it doesn't allow you to
embed fonts.'

Well, I'd trust what Microsloth says about as far as I can spit them. :-\
According to many other places, it doesn't work. A couple of examples:

"Natively, the Mac PowerPoint will not embed fonts into presentation files.
Nor will it display fonts that were embedded using PowerPoint for Windows."

"Mac PowerPoint can't embed fonts, and it can't use fonts that have been
embedded by a Windows version of PowerPoint. That's a real pity and a real
impediment to cross-platform compatibility."

There are places that say it does work for *some* types of fonts, but
not others, and you get no indication about which will or won't work.
