maybe it's not the mapping.
I also tried the printer thing, and in fact, her default had a question mark
next to it when I went to replace fonts. I changed the default to a printer
that showed the printer icon, and it still messed up after a few minutes.
What else can I try?
I'd substitute a TT font rather than one with the printer icon.
? means that the font's needed but not available.
Printer icon means the font is resident in the printer but may not be available
for display purposes.
TT means that both PPT and the printer can use the font.

I've been hearing about you for years. Nice to meet you finally. ;-)
It could be the mapping that's messed up, but it could also be a printer
driver issue.
Check to make sure the user's got a LOCAL printer driver installed and set
as default.
If the printer's one that includes Helvetica as a resident font, you'll
see a printer icon if you choose Format, Replace Fonts and look at the
upper list box for Helvetica.
If so, try setting a different default printer, one that doesn't have
helvetica resident, if only as a test

I was just informed by our software guy that we actually don't have
Helvetica, and we have a font mapping that points Helvetica to Arial.
Now,
the Arial appears to be TT. She has no issues with Arial in
Powerpoint. So
it must be the mapping that's messed up right? Should I replace that
registry key?

This is a font issue rather than an application issue. Few questions:
- what type of font (TrueType (TT) or PostScript (PS))?
- Because Helvetica is not a Windows standard font, how is it installed?

Hello,when she
The default font for my company is Helvetica. I have a lady who,
uses Helvetica with Powerpoint 2002, sometimes, the text scrunches allto
together to the left of the slide. This makes it impossible for her
edit.that
However, if you print it, it prints out fine. She is the only person
is having this issue and it happens in a lot of her presentations.If she
changes the font to something else, it works fine. Has anyone everseen
thistried
before or have anything I can try to resolve this? I believe we've
repairing and uninstalling and reinstalling office.
