===========
 
Substituting Fonts When Converting Presentations from Microsoft Windows
to Apple Macintosh.
 
   If the same font name used within Windows also exists on the Apple
   Macintosh, PowerPoint will use that font. If the font name cannot be
   found, TrueType fonts in PowerPoint presentations on Windows are mapped
   to corresponding TrueType fonts on the Apple Macintosh, described in
   the following table. If the font does not exist within the table and
   cannot find an exact font match, PowerPoint on the Apple Macintosh will
   default to the "Geneva" font.
