If you're distributing a PowerPoint document to be edited by other
people, then you're best to give them the original font files as well
(the original .zip archive, including the licence text if there is one)
for them to install.
The final solution will be different for the Mac than for Windows.
For Windows, I'll just provide the file which has the entire font set
embedded in it. This is the easiest for everyone to edit the file at will.
For the Mac, we have no choice but to provide the font file itself, and
then to have every Mac user install the font and then delete the font when
they are done with the project.
It's a pain and it's ridiculous but there is no other viable option.

Since it's a free font, there's no real need for anyone to delete it.
