The situation is familiar: you or someone else uses a non-standard font (not a PowerPoint-safe font) in your presentation. You then open this same presentation on another computer, and PowerPoint uses another font to display the text. Why does it do so?

For the person providing the evaluation, breaking through this emotional blockade can be challenging; if this is approached in the wrong way, the goal of the feedback—to improve performance—can be more difficult to achieve.
