PowerPoint templates
PowerPoint presentations should be designed following the same recommendations for logo and slogan use, color, photography and typeface as used in print and Web pages.
Font for body copy
For body copy, use commonly used and widely available fonts, rather than Rotis. The computer playing the presentation will use that machine’s default font if the font you have chosen is not available. Font options include Arial, Garamond, Lucida, Times New Roman, and Verdana.
