Can Mac Adobe Illustrator read in a Microsoft PowerPoint withfonts?

Can Mac Adobe Illustrator read in a Microsoft PowerPoint & with fonts? I have someone making signs for me on a vinyl style printer where she says she can't read in the Microsoft Powerpoint and fonts, even though I've embedded the entire truetype set (not just what's used in the document) in the PowerPoint file. I don't have a Mac nor Adobe Illustrator to test it out, but can't Illustrator just read in the PowerPoint file with the fonts? She says it can't do either, so she has to re-create the sign from a JPEG which seems pretty ridiculous to me but I don't know the technology at all since I have never done it. It's basically two question: 1. Can Mac Adobe Illustrator read in a PowerPoint file from Windows? 2. If yes, can't it get the font out of the embedded font in the PPT file? As usual, Microsoft have diddled you: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...c-3af1bab640de Near the bottom of that page is a section: "Text and Fonts". It says: "Also remember that Windows versions of PowerPoint can embed TrueType fonts within a presentation. But these embedded fonts cannot be seen by Mac versions of PowerPoint." Microsoft can't get it right w/i their own product line on 2 platforms. I doubt that Adobe can do much better in pulling the font. -- "2/3 of Donald Trump's wives were immigrants.
