Keynote Live – Fonts not working

OK so I understand why streaming a Keynote presentation to someone who opts to use Keynote instead of their browser to view might not be able to see custom fonts but WHY would it substitute fonts when presenting to a browser? It's obviously being compressed on the front end so let us keep our custom fonts!

Anyone have a solution, barring prerendering all the sections with custom fonts?

Or could Apple possibly list the fonts available for use when using Keynote live?

I know it's not really what you want, but I've had this problem and the only workaround I was able to find myself is to switch back to one of the native fonts.

It's annoying, but I suspect it's the only solution.

I think the "missing fonts" popup window is misleading - the only missing font in your keynote is the "CircularPro-Book", marked with the yellow flag. The others are okay, it's just giving you the option to replace them if you want.

I'd love if Apple would list the fonts available to use on Keynote live without replacement.

Huge problem! Company has 3k global employees and we rely on Keynote. Every time we open a deck it shows the "Missing Fonts." As you can see from Screenshot this includes fonts that are pretty standard as well as our company's custom font "Charlie Display" and "Charlie Text"

Once someone opens one of our Master Decks all the fonts get changed. This has created a ridiculous amount of work for me to have to go and redo all the fonts on each page of a bunch of decks.

I have checked my system and I have our company font installed in the User/Fonts folder and the System/fonts has all the fonts that Keynote is saying are missing.

All of this is happening on Desktop systems.

Help? Thoughts?
