I changed to a new master slide and it works fine now, thanks!

I understand, but keep in mind that Templates are not quite the same
as Master Slides. You can select a Template when you are creating a
new presentation, and to be sure, the Template will contain one or
more Master Slides.
But, once you've created a presentation, you can still change the
Master Slide which controls the way the slide appears. "Metropolis"
is both a Template and a Master Slide. You get to the Master Slides
through the "Sidebar" which should be visible on the right side of
your screen. If it isn't, click on "View", "Sidebar" to make it show
up. The Sidebar contains all sorts of controls under various sub-
menus called "Properties", "Slide Transition", "Animation", "Master
Slide", "Styles", and so on.
If you click on the Master Slide icon on the Sidebar, you should see
an array of available Master Slides. The ones you have available may
depend on your particular installation, OS, etc. On my Windows
machine, for any given presentation, I can choose from about 29
different Master Slides, some of which I created, and others that
came with my particular LO installation. I didn't have to download
any additional templates.
With any given slide showing, you can left click on an available
Master Slide, and that MS will immediately be applied to the showing
slide. You can select a different Master Slide for each slide of your
presentation. Or, if you prefer, you can right click on an available
Master Slide, and select "Apply to All Slides." In your situation, as
a way to troubleshoot your presentation, I would select a different
Master Slide for each of your slides in the presentation. I would
then export the presentation as a PDF and then transfer and open it
on an Apple device. I would expect some of your slides to be properly
displayed and others to be messed up. I would then make a note of the
Master Slides that worked and those that didn't.
Good luck.

Thanks.

I did download some templates 

https://dohliam.github.io/libreoffice-impress-templates/

But most of them don't seem to work?

Yeah,I don't think changing the font will fix it. I would try
changing the Master Slide to something other than Metropolis. You
can apply different Master Slides to different slides and see
which ones work with Apple devices.

Metropolis is not a template. It is a Master Slide. You get to

Master Slides on the control panel on the right side of the
screen. There should be an array of available Master Slides.
Right click on one of them and you can apply it to all slides.

I see how to get to master, but I still am unable to see how to

change

the current template.  I have searched on Google, etc, and

don't see

how to do that.

I see how to do file/templates and manage, but that's it.

FWIW, when I do that, I don't even see metropolis template.

I would only add that, after changing the font in the styles,

you may

also have to clear any direct formatting that you may have

previously

applied on a given slide or slides. Highlight the text on the

slide and

click on "Format > Clear Direct Formatting". This will then

apply the

style-controlled font to the selected text. *Caution:* It

will also

eliminate any other specific formatting that you had

previously applied,

such as boldface, italics, color, etc. It will get you back

to the

original font of the style used in the master slide for the

presentation.


But, based on my earlier experimentation, I don't think just

changing

the font will fix your problem. I created a slide

presentation using

Metropolis as you describe and converted it to PDF and sent

it to both

my Android phone and Apple iPad. On the Android, the PDF

everything

displayed fine. On the iPad, I got missing text and text

cutoff as you

described. I then changed the font on the Metropolis theme to

a font I

knew worked on the iPad in other situations and I got the

same results

(missing text and text lines cutoff). I'm convinced your

problem is with

the Metropolis theme itself. If I were you, I would select a

different

master slide theme and right click on it and then click

"apply to all

slides" and see if that helps.

No. On the right of the Impress window click the styles and

icon.
Click the style you used for the test and right click

modify. On the

font tab change the font to the one you want to use.

So, on any particular slide, I go to format/style and

  It doesn't seem to do anything?

I guess my question is, in that case, how would you

easily change the

Shot in the dark.

You can probably assume those fonts that currently

work on Iphone

with
Metropolis are available by default.

Find out the fonts that aren't working and

substitute with other

default
fonts that are used on Iphone.

Use only those font inside Metropolis.

Hope this helps.

Seem to have the same result :(

I wonder if I just have to ditch metropolis?

I made a presentation with impress, used

Metropolis theme.


I then exported it as PDF.

The problem is, some, when opening on such

things as iphones,

get the
text cut off, like the top part of the text

is not showing, etc.


Others, until they turn the phone sideways,

it doesn't display

the text
correctly.

How do I make sure the text looks correct for

all, or at least

most,
users on different devices?

Note an expert, but something you might try.
Open file, and go to File/Properties/Fonts
There are two check boxes for embedding fonts.
Don't know if either or both would make a

difference.

Might be some font that you used isn't included

on these

devices and they are using a different font

that throws

everything off?
Not sure why this isn't listed under the PDF

options as a

choice?
Had a spreadsheet I exported that had this

issue with

some fonts, and believe this fixed it? But it

was long ago..

Worth a try. Worst thing, it makes no

difference. File will

be bigger since fonts will be included.
