shensel Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Hello, I'm running into an issue with piper plots not displaying properly for non-GWB users when copying as an enhanced meta file into PowerPoint for editing. I've attached a screenshot of this here. Is there a good workaround for this that isn't (for example) using the snipping tool post editing? Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jia Wang Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Hello Scott, If you are pasting the plot as an enhanced metadata file, you can always select the option to embed fonts in Powerpoint before saving, so that the markers will display correctly even on computers without the GWB font. In most versions of Powerpoint, I believe it's under File tab -> Options -> Save tab in the left column, check Embed font. Alternatively, if you don't need to manipulate the plot in Powerpoint, you can also export a plot in the "Save image..." dialog (File -> Same image...) and select a graphics format such as jpeg or png. You can also export in Postscript format and select "embed font" when doing so, the markers should show up correctly on computers without the GWB font.

Jia Wang Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Hello Scott, I would also like to let you know that another solution is to download the GWB font on computers that are having the symbol marker issue. The font is free to download from our website here: https://www.gwb.com/font.php Best regards, Jia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
