PowerPoint uses .POT template files, not .dot Word templates. Both of these
pull fonts from the fonts installed on the computer.

I'm not following what you are saying and don't know if it is because I do
not use Word that much or we are miscommunicating on labels. If the people
at the university made you a new font, then that font should be available in
PowerPoint as well. I do not understand how making a custom template
enables you to write in a different language.
