thanks. yes, that was the problem. and it is solved now thanks dude.

awesome fix! thanks so much!

How odd that the absence of Symbol would cause text to appear in Symbol instead of Arial. But, I am grateful to have this solution.

Thank you Luke.

Thank you so much for figuring this out and posting the solution. Oddly, this just became an issue within the past few weeks for me. I was working on a presentation one day and all was good. I opened it a couple of days later to make some edits and all of the sudden everything was Greek. It must have happened with a recent update or something.

Thanks for the info, Luke!

We recently started having this problem when we upgraded our Macs to Office 2008 and also cleaned up our fonts and started using Suitcase Fusion 2.

We figured out that Calibri was one required font, but we could never figure out why Arial Regular wasn't working!

Amazing! Thank you for sharing this with the world. Microsoft would never have figured this out

I just want to add my thanks. I was beginning to go crazy.

We searched the web for the same Powerpoint arial problem and found your solution. Thank you so much!

You are awesome and so kind to share this info. I would have never been able to solve this myself.

Thanks Luke for sharing. I'll drink a beer in your honor, cheers.

What a life saver! I was ready to reimage a machine and lose the little remaining hair I have. Thanks!!
