Hi, I had very big problem. I have a few PPT presentations
created on Windows containing scientific stuff and noticed
that the equations appeared as black rectangles, even if
they were there (i saw opening most of them, a few
appeared as pictures, using the equation editor).

Damo, I've seen others report this problem, but I've been unable
to reproduce it. If you'll send me a copy of your presentation
created on Windows, I'll take a look at it on my Powerbook.

Also, it will be helpful to know what version of PPT was used to
create the presentation, and what version you're using on the
Powerbook.

The solution was posted by a Microsoft guy about 1.5 years ago.

Go to your System Prefs, Appearance pane... and change font smoothing to
"standard".

Restart PowerPoint. Voila. (Worked for me about 10min ago).
