Captivate 5 Won't Import My Font From PPT

I'm working with Captivate 5 and PPT 2007.  I'm importing a PPT presentation into Captivate and it will not pull my fonts through.  It changes everything to the Captivate default font.  The strangest thing is that I imported the exact same PPT presentation yesterday and it kept my fonts.  I've tried it several times today and it won't do it. The font is an option to select in Captivate so I just can't image why it's doing this. Any idea earthly idea why this is happening?? I need help quick!

Have you tried importing a small PPT with the same required font into a new Captivate project?

I'm wondering if the issue is due to some corruption in your current project.  Sometimes trying the same task in a brand new project file works, where doing it in another existing project doesn't.

Perhaps you could also take a screenshot of the font issue and show us what it looks like and what it should look like?

Hello,

I am having this same problem as well.  I have the fonts I want in a powerpoint presentation, then when I import it to Captivate 5.5 it changes them.  The fonts imported correctly a week ago, but as I update the project it does not. Any ideas?  I tried starting over in both PPT and Captivate and it's not working.
