Hi, 8thnote,

I vaguely recall this happening in one of the beta versions, but I can't
repro it in the RTM (final, released to manufacturing) version. I don't have
Myriad Pro here, so I can't test it specifically, but all was well with the
various Open Type fonts I tried.

Are you using a beta version of PPT still?
