At ClientPoint, we strive to support a wide range of font families and types to ensure that your documents maintain a consistent and professional appearance. ClientPoint’s preferred font format is the TrueType Font File Format (TTF), as it is widely supported across platforms and commonly used in custom font applications. However, it’s crucial to ensure that any custom fonts you use are embeddable, as ClientPoint’s system only supports embeddable fonts.
Why Embed Fonts?
Embedding fonts in your documents helps ensure that custom fonts are preserved across different systems and devices, maintaining the intended look and feel of your documents. Without embedding, a font may be replaced with a default font on systems that lack the specific font file, which could alter your document’s appearance.
Steps to Embed Fonts in Microsoft Word
To embed fonts in Microsoft Word (one of the most common tools for document creation), follow these steps:
-
Access the Options Menu
Click on the File tab in Word, then select Options from the dropdown menu near the bottom left corner. -
Open Save Settings
In the Options dialog, choose the Save tab from the left column. -
Enable Font Embedding
Under Preserve fidelity when sharing this document, check the box labeled Embed fonts in the file.
-
Choose Embedding Options
- Selecting Embed only the characters used in the presentation will reduce file size but limit others' ability to edit the file using the same font.
- Leaving this box unchecked keeps the file larger but ensures that others can edit the document with the embedded font. We recommend leaving this box unchecked if the file may be edited by other users.
-
Confirm Changes
Click OK to save these settings.
Following these steps will ensure that your custom fonts are properly embedded, allowing your documents to retain their formatting when shared with others.
