Font family not converting from ppt to pdf

Hi everyone, 
if this error occurs check if the affected fonts are variable or static fonts. With variable fonts, the font weight seems to not be applied correctly during PDF export. If posible, install the static font variants instead. The exported PDFs looked as expected for me then. 

Found the BEST solution:  File/Export/Create PDF/XPS Document

It preserves everything.

This is a completely non-standard fix, but one I discovered by accident. If you highlight your text in PPT, right click, select "Format Text Effects" select "Text Fill & Outline" and give it 1% transparency, it will render correctly when it converts to PDF. Not ideal, but worked well enough for me.

Hi Guys - think I've found a generic solution to these kind of problems which worked for me. In  Power Point go into the Export menu. Select Change File Type and then select PowerPoint Picture Presentation. This creates another power point file where your slide are picture format. Then open this file and Export > Create pdf/xps document and your should find your PDF  manages all the fonts and graphics without a problem. 

I am having the same exact problem. I am on Windows 10 and am trying to convert a PPT to PDF. The typekit font I am using is Interstate and nothing is bolded or italicized.

When I convert to PDF it changes the font.

I have done the same with another font (Proxima Nova) and it works fine when converting from PPT to PDF.

This needs to get fixed!!!

Regrettably, on Windows versions of Office, the only way to get to those actual italic, bold, and bold italic typefaces is to click on the icons. Without going to the Windows Fonts Control Panel, there is no way of knowing whether you have real or faux font styles.

Instead of clicking B or I, you can open the font menu to select a font. That way you can tell if the font is installed by looking at the message at the bottom of the Font menu.

I put my bet on Dov's last suggestion

Office applications allow for faux italic and bold fonts when actual fonts aren't installed (or don't even exist) for those styles.

Do not click the little B or I icons. Choose the actual bold and italic fonts.

It would really help if you gave us some specifics. What platform (MacOS or Windows)? What version of Acrobat?

Exactly how are you creating PDF (exact steps since there are any number of paths, some of which are Adobe and others not)?

Some specifics about the fonts in question?

Note that the Embed fonts in the file option for PowerPoint and other Microsoft Office applications only works for TrueType (including TrueType OpenType) fonts (typically fonts with the .ttf file suffix). Microsoft refuses to embed OpenType CFF fonts (typically fonts with the .otf file suffix) into Office document files. Furthermore, only fonts that allow editable embedding can be embedded in an Office document file.

The other thing to consider which may or may not be the case here is that Office applications allow for faux italic and bold fonts when actual fonts aren't installed (or don't even exist) for those styles. For example, if you install font Glurbish Modern on your system, but not Glurbish Modern Italic, Glurbish Modern Bold, or Glurbish Modern Bold Italic, Office applications pretends that those styles are installed and most often displays and prints synthesized versions of same, but in situations for PDF export, may simply ignore those artificial faces.
