Font styles help you customize the way text appears in a PowerPoint document. You can manage the fonts on all slides in your presentation by updating them in the slide master. The updates you make to the slide master will be applied to the slides that use it. If you only need to update fonts on a single slide, you should change it on the individual slide only. You'll need to update each slide manually to apply that style to it.
