Hi Priyanka,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I sent you an email with the requested
info. I had a similar issue with PPT and fonts during the previous office
upgrade, so I checked all font folders on my Mac at home and synched it
with my Mac at work (the one with the problem), and boom, all is fine, PPT
launches fine!

This PPT font "pickyness" should not necessarily be left to the user to
resolve. Mac users are traditionally "moving things around", "keeping the
system slim" and "weeding stuff out" they (believe they) don't need.

MS should EXPECT and assume that not all fonts are present in a users
system, and if PPT needs them it should at least tell me so.

Regards from Vienna, Austria,
Herbert
