Tip! Choose your fonts carefully--not all appear "smoothed" when projected--Microsoft Powerpoint seems only to support smoothing for "True Type" fonts (download some from Microsoft). When in doubt, just test some fonts on the presentation computer before you present. It is always a good idea to avoid fonts with city names (e.g., New York); these fonts are not reliably smoothed in many applications. Non-serif fonts (e.g., Helvetica) are slightly more readable on the screen than serif fonts (e.g., Palatino). You can set font smoothing options in the Appearance control panel the ATM control panel (an Adobe product that controls Postscript fonts), or by installing SmoothType, a recent release that seems to be getting favorable reviews. If you are having trouble with jagged fonts on-screen, see Adobe's Font-Smoothing Troubles page. It is always worth the time to make the effort to attain font smoothing as unsmoothed fonts give Powerpoint presentations a distinctly unprofessional look.
