We have a copy of the PowerPoint 3.0 viewer over here. You're right,
all the fonts are messed up. The cause wasn't immediately apparent.
I'll see what we can find out, although it will probably have to wait
a week before we can look at it in depth.

I'm not sure that the problems are strictly due to missing fonts. It
may be that there is inappropriate scaling of existing fonts going on.
