Check if Your Font Is PowerPoint-Safe

PowerPoint silently swaps fonts it does not have, and your layout drifts. Type a family below to see exactly what would happen to it.

Start typing a font family used in your Figma file.

The three outcomes

Embedded

The real font bytes go into the .pptx. Inter, Roboto, Montserrat, Poppins, Open Sans, Lato, Nunito and DM Sans are bundled with the plugin; any other typeface joins them once you upload its .ttf.

Remapped

No font file available, so the family is swapped for the closest PowerPoint-safe one — and the report prints the swap as from → to. Never silent.

Needs your file

Not a PowerPoint font and no built-in mapping. The plugin says so and offers the upload rather than writing a name into the file and hoping for the best.

Frequently asked

Will Inter survive an export to PowerPoint?

Yes — Inter is one of the eight families bundled with the plugin, so its actual font file is embedded into your .pptx and the deck renders in Inter on machines that have never installed it. Without embedding, Inter would be remapped to Calibri, which is what most exporters do silently.

Why does PowerPoint change my fonts at all?

A .pptx normally stores only the font name. When the file is opened on a machine without that font, PowerPoint substitutes something it does have — and the substitute has different metrics, so lines rewrap, headlines overflow and your layout drifts. Embedding the font file removes the guesswork.

Which fonts are always safe?

The families that ship with Windows and Office: Arial, Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Courier New, Georgia, Segoe UI, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS and Verdana. They also all carry full Cyrillic coverage, which is why the converter falls back to them when your text needs it.

What about Cyrillic, Greek or CJK text?

If your text contains Cyrillic and the face that would otherwise be written into the file is not guaranteed to cover it, the converter forces a family that does and records the swap. That prevents the classic failure where a deck arrives as rows of empty boxes. CJK typography needs a font that covers those scripts — embed it rather than relying on substitution.

Can I embed any font I own?

Technically the plugin will embed any .ttf you upload. Whether you may is a licensing question: many commercial licences permit embedding in documents, some do not. Check your licence — the plugin does not police it for you.

Do embedded fonts work in Google Slides?

No. Google Slides ignores embedded font parts and renders from its own library. See the Google Slides page for how to plan around that.

Hand off a deck people can actually edit

Editable where possible, embedded where it matters, transparent always — that's the whole promise.
