Mac versions of PowerPoint don't support font embedding like the Windows
versions do (unless this has been added in 2004, that is).

There are two options:

- Use only fonts that you know will be available on the PC (which will depend a
lot on your target PCs and what software you can assume they'll have). There's
a lot of good info about what fonts ship with which version of Windows/software
at http://www.microsoft.com/typography/

- Convert your text to graphics (ie, to curves) in Illustrator or some other
graphics program before inserting them into PPT
