The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft PowerPoint for the Macintosh, version 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
Microsoft PowerPoint substitutes PostScript fonts for TrueType fonts when
there are PostScript versions of the fonts installed on the computer. This
is true both on the screen and when the file is printed.
 
The corresponding TrueType and PostScript fonts are shown below:
 
   TrueType           PostScript
   -----------------------------
 
   Arial              Helvetica
   Arial Narrow       N Helvetica Narrow
   Book Antiqua       Palatino
   Bookman Old Style  Bookman
   Century Gothic     Avant Garde
   Century Schoolbook New Century Schlbk
   Courier New        Courier
   Monotype Corsiva   Zapf Chancery
   Monotype Sorts     Zapf Dingbats
   Symbol             Symbol
   Times New Roman    Times
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This behavior is by design. The substitution is meant to enhance the
performance of PowerPoint by not downloading the TrueType fonts.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
If you want to use the TrueType font, remove the corresponding PostScript
version of the font from the System folder. PowerPoint will then use the
chosen TrueType font, both on the screen and when the file is printed.
