- We have a copy of the PowerPoint 3.0 viewer over here. You're right,
- all the fonts are messed up. The cause wasn't immediately apparent.
- I'll see what we can find out, although it will probably have to wait
- a week before we can look at it in depth.

- I'm not sure that the problems are strictly due to missing fonts. It
- may be that there is inappropriate scaling of existing fonts going on.
