Microsoft PowerPoint OpenXML File Surgeon


Abstract
--------
This is a small utility for performing some font-related surgical
operations on Microsoft PowerPoint OpenXML files (PPTX). Microsoft
PowerPoint, as of at least January 2020, can produce PPTX files which
are "broken" when it comes to fonts:
1. Broken Font Embedding:
Sometimes it contains some font embedding information,
but the actual font data is partially missing and PowerPoint is not
willing to correct this through any means of its user interface
(including disabling and re-enabling the font embedding option or
exporting and re-importing via XML format). For this, pptx-surgeon
provides the possibility to completely remove all font embedding
information which resets the PPTX file back to a consistent state
(where PowerPoint again is willing to correctly embed the fonts from
scratch).
2. Hidden Font References:
Often it contains references to previously used fonts, although no
user interface reachable shape any longer uses these fonts. For this,
pptx-surgeon provides the possibility to map font names in both
the theme, slide master and slides. This gets rid of the previous
references to old fonts.
