Summary:

Microsoft PowerPoint will not perform font substitution when printing a slide containing the non-LaserWriter fonts New York, Geneva and Monaco. This problem occurs with LaserWriter driver versions 4.0 and later.

The recommended workaround for this problem is to use a LaserWriter font, such as Times or Helvetica.

This problem is a result of PowerPoint’s use of Fractional Widths. The LaserWriter driver will not perform font substitution when this feature is enabled.
