ISSUE

With the latest Monthly update (version 2005, build 12827+), you can only replace fonts within a PowerPoint presentation if the font is already in use. The Replace Font dialog will only show used fonts in the With drop-down box.

The expected behavior is this drop-down should show all fonts.

Build “16.0.12827.20336” will include the fix will be rolled out soon.
