Re: Powerpoint 2007 and Type 1 fonts - size limitation

Odd. I don't recall seeing this in the PPT group. Wonder if we're having
issues with posts not showing up?

Anyway, try installing a Windows certified printer driver locally on the
machine. PPT 2007 is really picky about the printer drivers, and stuff
piling up/odd display issues are one typical symptom.

Here's instrux for adding a local printer driver:

Vista-certified.)
