Is Keynote that superior to MS PowerPoint?
- joesb 10y agoFonts on Mac and Windows are not the same, and export process does not always export everything correctly.
- LeoNatan25 10y agoTrue, and I think neither PPT or PPTX can embed fonts in them, so the result is subpar, while a PDF can embed fonts, but cannot embed the transitions.
- extra88 10y agoPowerPoint for Windows can embed fonts, the Mac version cannot. PowerPoint's cross-platform support is still a shitshow. Embedding a video on one platform and presenting on another is unlikely to work, especially now that QuickTime for Windows is end-of-lifed so one platform is even less likely to have those codecs. I think it's still possible for the bullet glyphs to not always match (set them to empty circles on one platform, get displayed as daggers on the other), though this is less common than it used to be.
- LeoNatan25 10y agoBoth have pluses and minuses. Mostly, when you purchase a Mac, you now get the Apple productivity suite (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) for free.
