Google slides has other pretty major problems for presenting things.

Notably if your corporate identity requires the use of a specific font, then its not possible.

Figma is a lot better in this regard, but the pricing is aggressive for the design part.



Even when you pay for enterprise, Google support will say things like, “Just change your brand font to use a Google Font!” It’s pretty awful and arrogant.


I understand a large amount of the technical and legal reasons for this, but I agree.

It hurts my position greatly as an advocate of their services internally and leads to us having to use Powerpoint anyway.


Object sizing and alignment is also garbage, barely functional, and has not been fixed in decades.


I worked somewhere where they went through this and got a custom font added: https://www.reddit.com/r/gsuite/comments/170jgfl/upload_cust...

Pretty disappointing and convoluted though.
