Customized fonts and colors

Edit Subject

Is the ability to add your own fonts and colors something that is being worked on or will we always need to conform to the styles chosen by Prezi or pay for individual styles?

Hi Douglas!

I'm aware that color editing and fonts are requested by several users and we consider our user requests when we plan our future product development. But I can't unfortunately promise anything.

Kind regards,
Sofia

I've worked around this problem by entering all of my text elements into a Photoshop-like graphics editor where I can control the fonts and color. Using fonts sized to be huge (e.g., 400 pts) and saving the individual text elements as separate jpg files, then loading them into Prezi, I can achieve what I'm after. The fonts look great, even under extreme zoom and I can still use Prezi to position, rotate, size, etc.
Hope it can work for you.

I agree totally that the choice is too limited at all! Only three font styles and one color for the highlighter, the lines, the frames - it's a pity!

Michael, your idea is quite good but too laborious for me. Thanks anyway!

I agree. I often get tired of Prezi because as I create new presentations changing the color scheme helps keep things fresh. With limited selection I find it frustrating. Even if it meant I had to upload my own css or xml file to set the color scheme, I would be happy.

  I am working with the Color Wizard. However, I cannot seem to locate how to save the profile of color and font combination I have created. Each time if I need to change one of the three given style of fonts (Title1, Title2, body), I need to enter ALL the details of color and font information again.
  
  Color/Font Editor is a great feature, but please help me to figure out how to save the profile I have created.
  
  Thank you :)

Jun,

You can access the CSS editor directly: press ctrl+shift+c.
In that way you get the CSS editor without going through the wizard (which presumabely resets all values).

Kind regards,

are we stucked with a predefined list of fonts ?

v2belleville,
right now there is no official way to use your own font.

you can use the following font names (add swf extension in css editor):

HelveticaNeueLTPro-Lt
HelveticaNeueLTPro-Blk
Inconsolata
myriadpro
Optimum-Roman
SerifaStd-Light
Crial-Black
jd
pincoyablack
VAL

  Thank you for the reference. Is there way to control kerning and tracking with CSS on Prezi? I really want more control over typography in my presentation which we can do in Keynote, for example. I do not need fancy looking font. Just some common fonts with typographic control can do lot of great things :)

Is there any way or are there any plans to include a service such as http://typekit.com ? They offer a bunch of free fonts plus each user can pay for using a larger font library.

Just trying out Prezi and even paid for a Pro membership, pending my 30 day trial completion, but this font manipulation deficiency is a bummer. For an editing program in 2011? I wanted to do something that passes for an afterthought in any modern editing and ended up in this forum. Not good Prezi people!

May not make it through the 30 days after all. Shame.

I plan to buy pro membership, evidently I have no other options). But this "Russian language only in arial and myriad" this is simply unfair to people. You have created the next generation presentation tool, this is the best solution available at the moment. But I totally agree with Edmund: this is 21st century, guys, if a topic started 2 years ago like this one http://community.prezi.com/prezi/topi... is still active, that simply means you don't care. Very very disappointing, please deal with the issue prior to my purchase. Very please)

Peter,

Just out of curiosity and since my 30 day trial has expired and I was billed, so can now speak as a member....could you please provide an update on what is coming.

I see more and more opportunity to apply this to my work but the thought of added work to deal with fonts--a necessity--makes me cringe. I applaud v2belleville but I simply do not have the time, and what is possible is simply not adequate.

I have also fully migrated to Office 2010 and Microsoft continues to make strides with that software. As much as I hate the ribbon, (oh gosh, I still hate it!) I find the software very elegant--yes I am saying that about MS. My affection for OpenOffice and cursory interest in GoogleDocs are waning fast.

Please put my membership dollars to good use: Presi needs to be out in front.

as v2belleville has mentioned, there are no options to choose various fonts of chinese, japanese, and korean, and it is a kind of flaw to this wonderful creation.
