Micorosft Graph in Powerpoint 2004 / Definitley a bug...

[JPenSuisse]

Hello,

I believe I have definitley uncovered a but in Powerpoiint 2004.

I use a special -.OTF font (Futura Standard Medium) from Adobe to make
grpahs. This worked fine in Powerpoint X. The slides I created even
look correct, if I view them in Powerpoint 2004, (with or without
Service Pack 1). But, if I edit the text, it will no longer look
correct. The last part of the text will be missing on the slide.
However, the text is still there if I double click to edit the graph
again.

If I save this file in Powerpoint 2004 and then reopen it in
Powerpoint 2003, the graph still looks wrong. But as soon as I edit
it in Powerpoint 2003, it will look right.

To me it appears that the rendering of the graph works incorrectly in
Powerpoint 2004 for -.otf fonts. For ttf. fonts it works okay.

Any ideas... Or just wait for fix???!

Hi JP,

Have you tried any system troubleshooting steps? I'd first use Apple's Disk
Utility to repair permissions, then let DisWarrior have a chance to fix
anything wrong in the file system.

If you still get the same behavior after doing these two things then I'd
give Microsoft's product support a call so they can open an incident for
you. You can use the feedback feature on the help menu if you don't want to
go through customer support.
