Hi,

Does anyone know how Windows determines what is a system font and what not?
Is this determined on font or os level?

Thanks,
Artur

    I believe it's a hidden list at the OS level.

    There is a list that records file names to be protected.

    My client wants to embed a custom font in a PowerPoint template. But Calibri is also used in the template and according to them ppt embeds all fonts used or no fonts. You can't make a custom selection of the fonts to be embedded.

    Calibri makes the template much bigger in filesize so they want to see if it is possible to mark Calibri as a system font because those are excluded from embedding.
