Embedding the fonts will ensure that they are included in the PowerPoint file, so even if the recipient does not have the same fonts installed on their computer, they will still be able to view the recipes properly. Using a plain font may not be aesthetically pleasing, and finding out which fonts they all have in common may be time-consuming and may not ensure that all recipients can view the file properly. Linking the fonts would require the recipient to download the fonts in order to view the file properly, which may be inconvenient.
