Default FONT changes when design saved as picture


Hello, I have the last and updated version of office .
I have a problem with powerpoint.
I use installed powerpoint app not browser - online version.
I tested the issue on my laptop and desktop.

I start with a blank slide.
I make a circle then I put a text box with calibri font inside the circle.
Then I group the cricle with a text box.
Then I click on the grouped object and select save as a picture.
I choose png or jpeg
When I open the saved picture in any editor the font changes .
Even when I insert that saved PNG or JPEG into the same slide that font looks completely different.

What I figured out is , if you don't group objects first , just select them and then save them as a picture font doesn't change.

Could you try to replicate the problem.

I'm aware these are not solutions (such a strange phenomenon!) but mere workarounds:
- Instead of saving as picture you can copy your group and paste it as picture on the slide; font stays.
- Instead of inserting a text box you can type your number into the shape. If you save that shape, the font stays.

Still, I'm intrigued with this issue and hope you get a 'real' answer!

Default Extending judithvg's 2nd workaround

Hi


I also came across this weird behavior (bug?). In my case, Calibri (only when selected as body font in the Design tab) got changed to Arial automatically when exporting a grouped text box to png. Export was successful when another font was selected as body font (tested with Arial) and the text was written in Calibri.



I found the following to work, which is somewhat an extension of judithvg's second suggestion:
Instead of a textbox, draw a rectangle. Go to Format Shape > Shape Options > Size & Properties > Text Box and select the radio button "Resize shape to fit text" as well as deactivate the checkbox "Wrap text in shape". This will pretty much emulate a regular textbox.


Grouping and exporting as png worked for me without the font changing any more.


Still not a solution though...
