Font display in Slideshare in slides design. Export via PDF from MS PowerPoint. Testing various standard Office fonts and non-standard script fonts.

1. The investigation file ;)
Bad looking fonts
when exporting to Slideshare?
Aa

2. Ever experienced the issue with ugly pixelization in texts
on your Slideshare presentation? I did.
This is my little investigation file. I am testing here the
look of several fonts, trying various export combinations.
Maybe it will be useful also for you.

Font export combinations
The standard way text is
displayed on a slide.
But this fails using export
to Slideshare via PDF
(generated by PowerPoint)
I found out that rotating
text helps sometimes.
PowerPoint or PDF
is apparently representing
then text different way (as
bitmap?).
A trick to improve
displaying texts in
Slideshare. Requires some
work - replacing every text
by Cut & Paste as Image.
Exporting procedure
Save PowerPoint file as PDF file
(recommended way to publish PPT
slides, more secure as publishing PPT
file).
Upload PDF file
to Slideshare
Create slides in PowerPoint
(I used MS Office 2013,
Windows 7)

Somewhere here’s the problem. Why?

15. Noticed the problem? Lobster, Roverd,
Myriad, Museo fonts are looking pretty
bad, unless rotated. Why? Is that problem
of Slideshare import? PDF export?
If you know the reason, got a hint how to
avoid this font display problem, I will be
grateful for help.
