Trying a different way to embed the fonts.

I installed the font used on MacOS with:

brew install --cask homebrew/cask-fonts/font-space-grotesk

This fixed it on my machine.

Good to know this works, but I'm still puzzled that embedding the font does not seem to work. I'll investigate a bit more.

Closing, since there is a decent workaround mentioned in the docs. If someone in the community wants to create a Keynote presentation based on the pptx, that would be welcome!
