In some instances, exporting all of the slides as images and then reinserting them into a new presentation is a good solution. The only drawback to this method is that the text becomes uneditable and you obviously can't use any text animations. These aren't necessarily big drawbacks, since you might not want the text edited or animated. It just depends on your style. In fact, I often use this method when posting presentations publicly, to ensure they aren't changed. You bring up a great point.

Sometimes, I design creative slides then copy the entire slide using the "Print Screen" button on my keyboard and paste it onto another slide. This turns creative fonts into pictures, eliminating the compatibility issue. I've noticed, though, it makes the file size much larger, and sometimes, when I upload to the web, the slide may appear a bit pixelated. Is this a viable solution to using special fonts, or should I stick to universal fonts? What are the drawbacks to copying and pasting the entire slide?
