Adding a new font?
A client sent me a powerpoint slide show, that I imported into FCP. The problem is that the font he used (Jester) did not translate. I’ve since downloaded/installed the font onto my computer.
I’m wondering now the easiest way to convert all the slides to Jester? I notice it doesn’t come up as option in FCP’s text generator font list. And while the font appears fine in WORD, it still doesn’t work in PPT.
Any suggestions?

There are two TYPES (kinds) of fonts:
Type 1 (PostScript)
Type 2 (TrueType)The native FCP titlers cannot use or see Type 1 fonts, only Type 2 fonts.
(But “Title 3D” and “Title Crawl” can use both types, even from inside the FCP app.)You need a copy of Ppt on your Mac so you can re-create the slides with the font(s) you want.
You will need a font that a Mac Ppt app. can “see” (I don’t know which type it uses, I’m guessing Type 2).You need a “Jester” face (or similar) that is compatible with the Mac Ppt. app.
Read this about PC Ppt docs brought into Mac.
