Fonts that work in Word, "The Mix" forinstance do not work in Powerpoint

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I have a issue where my custom font, that worked in Powerpoint and all Office Applications prior to upgrading to Office 2008 is no longer functioning.

When the font is selected it won't change the look of the letters. It's alomst as if the font has taken on the system default font type.

I went in and I "REPLACED FONT" from the format menu.
The Mix font was taking over for a system default font. That is the only way I could potentially get access to the new font.

The font works without issue and without replacement in Word and other applications. Just not Powerpoint 2008.

Is the menu option in Powerpoint under Format/Replace Font's the correct way to do the change?
