Description: When saving PPT file, LibreOffice does not embed fonts even if "Embed fonts in the document" has been chosen in Properties. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new Impress presentation. 2. Enter some text. 3. Choose "Properties" from "File" menu. 4. Check "Embed fonts in the document" in the "Font" tab and click "OK". 5. Save the file choosing the PPT file type (confirm the choice in dialog). 6. Close Impress and open the saved file in Microsoft PowerPoint. 7. Check the save options. Actual Results: The checkbox "Embed fonts in a file" is unchecked in Microsoft PowerPoint. Expected Results: The checkbox "Embed fonts in a file" should be checked in Microsoft PowerPoint. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: It is also possible to see the unchecked checkbox after reopening the file in Impress itself, but in this case that's also because Impress doesn't detect embedded fonts in PPT files.

I confirm it does not work, but maybe it's a ppt limitation.. I did find this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/291924 I only found information online, that LibO supports embedding fonts in ODF. And even then, it must conform to the font's meta info: "Allow embedding or not"
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #1) > I confirm it does not work, but maybe it's a ppt limitation.. I did find > this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/291924 That link does explain how to embed fonts to a ppt file with MS Office (versions 2002 and 2003 existed before pptx format was introduced), thus such files do support embedding fonts. For example, http://bcicommtech10.weebly.com/uploads/6/4/0/6/6406570/introduction_to_typography_-_a.ppt is a ppt file with embedded fonts (only characters used in it). > I only found information online, that LibO supports embedding fonts in ODF. > And even then, it must conform to the font's meta info: "Allow embedding or > not" I suppose that the same conditions could be applied to ppt files as well, at least in principle?
Dear MP, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
still a bug in LO 6.3.3 + also confirmed for pptx files
"embed fonts" feature is also lost with XLSX files But works fine for ODS files.
Also it doesn't work when re-saving an ODF presentation to ppt/pptx format. Embedded fonts are just lost. LO 6.3.4, Win 10, Manjaro Linux
still a bug in LO 6.4.0.3
Continuation of long standing issue: With latest release, LO Impress 7.3.0.3, [] Create presentation, [] Selecting/ ticking FILE > PROPERTIES > FONT > "Embed fonts in the document" [] Save in native ODP format ---> Fonts are embedded correctly. However, [X] Save in MS PowerPoint format ---> Fonts are NOT embedded. [X] Closer inspection shows that in resulting *.pptx (rename to .zip), the directory /ppt/fonts is NOT created. [X] Subsequently, the needed font*.fntdata files are NOT available. [] Loading the LO Impress generated *.pptx file into MS PowerPoint, and saving it there with fonts embedded does create /ppt/fonts and embeds the fonts applied by $USER correctly (when fonts are available within OS).
The bug is still there in LO 7.5.2.2 (in Linux and Windows). To sum up, LO Impress does not embed fonts when saving as .pptx, while LO Writer does when saving as .docx. The workaround indicated in Comment 8 works: 1. Embed fonts in .odp (Linux or Windows) 2. Save as .pptx (Linux or Windows) 3. In Windows, with these fonts installed, open the .pptx with PowerPoint and embed fonts there (use File / Options / Save, then Embed Fonts in File and select the desired embedding option) 4. Now the .pptx file has embedded fonts I didn't tested this workaround in MacOS X.
Confirming bug still exists in LibreOffice 24.8.2.1.
This ticket is large and from user perspective all is expected. But, from dev perspective not all may be resolved at once. Removing filter:xlsx. There are commits from Tomaž Vajngerl which improve the situtation. With these, fonts are now embedded in PPTX. No change in PPT, it may be split to another ticket. Embedded fonts are recognized in LO, but not in MSO. Also, "embed only used" does not work. We may keep this open. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/184287 commit faf45f80e1963534d72a60636836b816f6d27442 oox: import embedded font if it exists in impress The fonts are usually EOT fonts so this needs libEOT to work. The EmbeddedFontHelper takes care the conversion and make the font available in LibreOffice (which is then used automatically in the document). https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/184288 commit d0ee08cfbf12145027eee7ad46448a8734693c06 oox: export embedded font used in a presentation document This adds support to export the fonts that are used in an presentation document. The fonts are converted to EOT fonts. Adds an EOT converter, which converts a TTF font to EOT font by writing a EOT header and adding the TTF font data. Adds BigEndianTypes so we can read a structure that is defined in big endian and the types get converted (if needed) to system endian when accessed. + test Adds TTF reader which reads the true type font structure in an easy way that is used by the EOTConverter. + test
Embedded fonts are now also recognized in MSO. Tested with yesterday's master build. "Embed only used" is separate issue. OOXML doesn't have "Only embed fonts that are used..." (it does it by default) and no options for each script type, so when we reopen those will not be set. It is side issue to this ticket and is being worked on separately. I think this one may be closed. Feel free to retest and add feedback. PPT is separate, I will not open another one for that, as it is old enough not to expect resolution.
