Default Embed fonts in Excel

True, however copyright implications would prevent the possibilty of sending
out the font for free installation.

Hi,
if the recipient does not have that Font on his computer
then the default font takes its place. When you send the
excel workbook, you should also send font with a note
saying that the report cannot be viewed properly if this
font is not installed.

I have heard that this isn't possible and I think it

should be. The company
I work for and others I know all use Excel as a

significant business tool for
basic reporting. Unfortunately some corporate fonts

aren't widely available
(mine uses Dax).

Therefore, the reports in Excel are written in a font

that no-one else can
view, the end up reverting to the default, which could

mean that the
information is either illegible (because the cell size

needs to change) or
just look plain naff.

If the font was embedded (as with Word or PowerPoint)

recipients could view
the reports as they were intended.
