Odd. I don't recall seeing this in the PPT group. Wonder if we're having issues with posts not showing up?
Anyway, try installing a Windows certified printer driver locally on the machine. PPT 2007 is really picky about the printer drivers, and stuff piling up/odd display issues are one typical symptom.
Here's instrux for adding a local printer driver: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00605.htm (The drivers that ship with Vista will be Vista-certified.)

(I asked this in the powerpoint newgroup a few days ago, got no response.)
When I use any of my Postscript Type 1 fonts in PPT 2007 on a Vista machine,
the will not display correctly above 65.5points size.
What happens is that the text will have all the characters piled up on top
of each other, and the whole mess raised above the baseline. If the
selected text is made smaller than/equal to 65.5 points, it displays fine
again. If it's changed to a TrueType font, it displays fine in any size.
The Type 1 fonts work fine in Word 2007 at any size. They work fine in PPT
2003 on my XP machine in any size.
I've installed the Type 1 fonts directly though Vista's control panel fonts
tool, I'm not using ATM or other font managers.
Anyone else experience this?
tia,
Val
