Nuts. I was hoping the local driver set as default would do the trick. Was
the local driver a postscript driver?

Let me see what I can come up with.

PPT 2007 on Vista. I know you said any of your postscript type 1 fonts, but
could you give me names of a couple of common ones you're seeing the
behavior with so I can play with them here and see if it repros?
