Hello,
I’m trying to open a .pptx file in LibreOffice and then convert it to PDF but when I do, it looks different than when opening it with Powerpoint. The fonts are changed and tables are not properly shown. How can I avoid it and obtain the same format as in Powerpoint?
Thank you very much.
This highly suggests that the original fonts are not installed. Check in the Properties side pane if font name is displayed italic. This is the way Impress tells you it has not found it in the system installed font.
Alwayd mention OS name and LO version when posting here.
Hi, thank you for your response. I am using LibreOffice 7.5 and CentOS Linux 7. There is no place where the font name is in italic. It recognizes well the font (sorry for the misunderstanding) but the issue is that sometimes the font is displayed bigger than it should (i.e sometimes the titles of the slides are bigger than they should be and they occupy 2 rows of text instead of one).
Can you identify the problem? Thanks!
pptx is a foreign format. Either the file has been created with M$O PowerPoint under Window$ and you meet a compatibility issue, or you created it with LO Impress but recording it pptx needs a conversion and some feature could not be translated faithfully.
Also, though the style feature is not as developed as in Writer, you might also have conflict between styling and direct formatting.
If possible, attach a sample file containing only 2 slides: one correct and one defective. Describe in the attaching post what to look for (comparison between good and bad slides).
the problem was in fact that the font i use is not installed. In my particular ppt, I use “raleway light” and is in fact displayed in italic in the properties table. I guess I just have to install this kind of font and my problem will be over.
