Thank you for disappearing.
The sooner you disappear the better it will be for everyone.

The original question was:
1. Technical (how do I embed the Roadgeek TT font in PowerPoint?)
2. Legal (what am I supposed to do for copyright stuff?

The only remaining question is how to embed the font in Mac PowerPoint.

It's quite a stretch to say that Macs can't handle fonts as well as
Windows! Apple (inventor of desktop publishing *and* of TrueType fonts,
the basis for Open Type) is not to blame because MS crippled the Mac
versions of their office suite. They had to; if MSOffice for the
superior Mac OS had all the features of the Windows version that would
be the end of Windows in the enterprise.


I don't have a Mac. Do you have a Mac?

Did you read this? http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00076_Embedding_fonts.htm

Do you agree or disagree with the statement you are responding to?
"Mac versions of PowerPoint can't embed fonts or use fonts
that have been embedded by a Windows version of PowerPoint."

If you still disagree, can you tell us how Mac users can embed that font?

that question is not remaining. you're just too ****ing stupid to
figure it out. it's actually comically easy, with at least two methods,
but since you've alienated those who know the answers, you're on your
own.

You can already ditch Microsloth's garbage and just use Mac with
Apple's Keynote instead (or even one of the other office suite
presentation apps). The problem is that some places don't allow you to
use your own equipment for presentations, so you *have* to have a
PowerPoint file.

Although you can save a PowerPoint file from some of these other
presentation packages, there's no guarantee it will look and work the
same ... mind you, there's no guarantee of that even if you do use
Microsloth apps under Windoze either. :-\


The problem is a real problem which has been explained fully.
I can even upload the file if you want to see the PowerPoint file itself.

The only unknown now is how to embed a font in PowerPoint on the Mac.

Are there any Mac experts on this ng?
If so, can you tell us how to embed that font into PPT on the Mac?

Digging through that site I find the following related to use of this font
in
web sites:
First the licence is a Creative Commons ´BY¡ license which only demands
attribution.


Thank you for finding that information that attribution is all that's
needed to answer the second of the two original questions.

1. Technical (how do I embed the TT font in PowerPoint?)
2. Legal (what am I supposed to do for copyright stuff?)

The manner of attribution for a web site is to include the following:
´http://www.onlinewebfonts.com font by Michael D. Adams is licensed by
CC BY 3.0"


I agree that a simple attribution page is in the spirit of the Creative
Commons license agreement, since distribution isn't by web, but by
PowerPoint embedding.

The license says:
"This font may be freely distributed and used provided copyright
notifications remain intact."


That sounds pretty specific. However, this download site states; ´License:
unknown¡ and is less specific than the onlinewebfonts.com license.
http://www.fontpalace.com/font-details/Roadgeek+2005+Series+B/

So that site fails to meet the minimum CC BY 3.0 license requirement.


I think this particular free font is so widely distributed on web sites
that the adherence to license agreements by those web sites is variable.


The copyright says:
"Copyright (c) Michael D. Adams, 2005. All rights reserved."


That seems to be the simplest statement of attribution, and the only
requirement of the Collective Commons ´BY¡ 3.0 license.


Thank you for finding and understanding the "collective commons" agreement,
which is new to me so I appreciate your advice.


I had a brain fart, it is Creative Commons, not Collective Commons There is
more for you he
https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Main_Page
https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Best_practices_for_attribution
https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Marking_your_work_with_a_CC_license
https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wik...ing_of_BY_and_
BY-NC_adaptations


So how do you maintain a copyright notice intact in PowerPoint 2007?


To cover all bases to be within the spirit of the CC license, I would add a
CYA page to your Power Point presentation which states the following, or
words to that effect:
Roadgeek 2005 Series B Copyright © Michael D. Adams, 2005. All Rights
Reserved. License CC by.¡


Thank you.

That seems like a good answer to the second question of the two asked!
1. Technical (how do I embed the TT font in PowerPoint?)


I last used Power Point (Mac & Win) over 10 years ago.

2. Legal (what am I supposed to do for copyright stuff?


In the case of this specific font, provide the attribution. In the case of
any other copyrighted material, meet the requirements of the specific license
demands.


Are there Mac experts on this ng who know the answer to the first question?


As I said I haven’t used Power Point on a Mac for over 10 years, and since
I retired I have had little reason to use Keynote. So in respect of your
question, I will be of little help.

You fail to comprehend the simplest of statements.

You don't have the skill set nor the intention to answer the question.

The sooner you disappear, the better it will be for everyone.
