Using fonts others don īt have on their PC
 
I have been working on a worksheet and wanted to upload it now, when I saw that the font I used doesn īt display correclty. I have read on the forum before that there is a method on how to do in this situation; but I can īt find the topic again. Could somebody help me out and tell me what I must do, please? Thanks a lot for everything!

Hi Sara,
 
To have your fonts display correctly, you have to embed the true type fonts in your document.  If you go to your toolbar at the top in Word, click on Tools.  Then click on Options.  Another window will open up.  Click on Save.  The "Embed True Type fonts" block must be checked (it must have a tick). Then press OK.  You can also choose to only embed the characters used in your document.  It will change the size of your document slightly, but when you upload your ws, the fonts will display correctly.
 
Hope this helps. Good luck.
 
Have a blessed 2010.
Joey

In Word 2007 you have to go to save the file. The window that pops up then has the button "tools" in the left bottom corner. There you go to save options and there you find the embeded fonts like Joey described :) I hope that helped :)

Just a reminder that you should only use fonts children can read, if you īre making worksheets for younger students. They often have problems reading elaborate fonts and these worksheets are first and foremost for them!
