Presentation format / software / OS?

Hello,

I'm doing the final strokes of my presentation and I have a question. What
will be the operation system and the software in use for viewing the
presentations?
I need to know because I have one custom (handwriting) font in one of my
presentations, which I either need to install first, or turn the respective
textboxes into images, or convert the whole presentation to PDF (which will
be more difficult to me in another aspect)... So, any info available about
this?

I'm assuming you'll be able to just hook up your own laptop to the projector?

Organizers?

Hello, Roan!

I'm afraid, no. My laptop has some factory defect in the video output port,
it cannot connect with a projector properly :((( That's why I'm asking...

Short answer: PDF is probably best. ODP, PPT, Keynote and Google Docs
are probably fine, too, but each of them will have its issues. (For
example, if you use any special fonts, it may be a problem.)

The organizers are not providing a computer. There are plenty of
people with functional laptops here with Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS
and various office software. You can try asking someone to use a
laptop. Of course, make sure to check your presentation on the
computer you will use with the projector at least a couple of hours
before the presentation.
