Install Century Gothic Ubuntu Mate

Our company is using the following font family for most of our communications: Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk (can't post a direct link because of lack of rep, but it's accessible through fontsgeek.com) Since we've upgraded most people to Office 2016 on Mac and PC, we've seen that the font family in it's entirety wasn't working Office 2016 (we had a really, really old version that was downloaded and kept on our servers for more than a decade, from another source than the one previously mentioned). I found the website previously mentioned, which had an updated font on it. Downloaded it on my Mac, and all seemed to work fine. I did a test document with every single font in the family, installed the same fonts on a Windows 10 computer, and opened it up: The fonts don't look the same! Mac seems to 'fatten' the font up (or Windows slims it down, whichever one). And to make sure the font itself is not problematic, I opened two specific fonts (from this family that differ from platform to platform when opened in Word) using Mac's Font Book and Windows' default font viewer in Explorer.and the fonts look exactly the same, at the same size.

So it's really a problem with the Office suite not interpreting the fonts properly. I've taken two screenshots of what the font look like on each OS. Could someone help me figure out why this is happening, and if there is a way to solve it? Just to make sure we're all on the same page: This is the exact same document (not even a copy), opened on both platforms, at the same time. Fonts on Word 2016 for Mac: Fonts on Word 2016 for PC: Does anyone know why that would happen?

I downloaded one of the fonts in question and in word it lists that font as 'Akzidenz Grotesk BE Ex', in illustrator that same font is listed as 'Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk Extended'. If you have created the document previously on the mac or another computer, or perhaps with an older version, it might be looking for a font that it doesn't see ( same font slightly different name ) and then may be substituting it with a different font entirely. In word on your Windows PC maybe check if you have multiple copies of that font, perhaps under slightly different names.

I use gedit, but I installed emacs and may try it. My website Using Geany A Christian Running Ubuntu MATE 14.04. I Century Gothic. Raspberry Pi & GPD Pocket. We are delighted to provide ready-to-run images for the Raspberry Pi 2, Raspberry Pi 3, GPD Pocket and GPD Pocket 2.

You can also see in word through the below menu if the fonts are being substituted.

I have a beef with Calibri. Hey you, Calibri. Yeah you, you default font of every single Microsoft document.

I’m over you. So what if you dethroned Times New Roman from its Microsoft default font reign? I’m not impressed anymore, with your rounded corners and soft lines taking me on an unwanted trip to early 2007. And today, I’m ready to dethrone you. The problem is, you are everywhere. In every new PowerPoint deck I open, there you are. And my biggest pet peeve? You are also in EVERYONE ELSE’S PRESENTATION.

When I see Calibri as the chosen font in presentations, it tells me one thing: There wasn’t much thought in how the presentation’s personality and tone would complement and reinforce the presenter’s story. Your PowerPoint is supposed to be your best wingman. But not tailoring it to your tone makes it more like that annoying lonely guy at a bar who sidles up to your crew and ends up driving away the ladies. It’s my belief that the best presentations have a personality and soul. Leap law software. They act as the trusty sidekick of you, the superhero.

The Robin to your Batman. The Chewy to your Han (depending on your perspective). You get the idea. If this isn’t something you’ve thought about already, don’t sweat it. Here’s the good news: There is a universe of personality-filled typefaces just waiting in the wings to take your slides to the next level. Today is your chance to breathe life into your slides and dazzle your audience.
