Font Changes Importing from PowerPoint

Question

Hi,I'm using Captivate 5.5 (Windows) and creating a new project from an MS PowerPoint file.The PowerPoint file features a few corporate standard fonts, a Futura flavor and a Garamond flavor, neither of which are visible in Captivate after import.What are tricks to ensure an import from PowerPoint retains the fonts?Background:As a test, I created a new, single slide .ppt file (using in PowerPoint 2010) with mutliple fonts. The needed corporate standard fonts still didn't import into Captivate correctly, though other fonts had about a 75% success rate. TrueType or Open Type didn't seem to matter. I can't yet see the pattern of those fonts that work, and those that don't.I've successfully created new (native) Captivate projects using the same corporate standard fonts.The end goal is to have an ability to quickly convert content from PowerPoint to trackable courses for our LMS (Oracle/Taleo/Learn).Thank you!

I have this same issue. I try to combine files into a PDF from a powerpoint and the font completely changes after import. I tried to embed the font from the PPT file but then it wouldn't upload to combine files. This is frustrating! I have no issues saving the PPT into a PDF but only when I take it into this program to combine the two PPT's into a PDF. Thank you.
