unicode characters in arial font

[stra]

i am creating new powerpoint 2002 document in lithuanian
language, and special letters (latin e with dot above it,
or latin u with dash above and so on) can only be
displayed in Arial and Arial Unicode MS fonts. All not
special Latin letters can be displayed in any font. There
is no such problem in Word 2002 or Excel 2002. Strange,
but in another computer with the same OS and office XP
everything is fine and all characters can be shown in any
font. Does anyone know where is the problem?
by the way: Office XP is installed in FULL mode (during
setup i chose everything to be in my computer).
thanks.

Hi, stra.

I would first start by changing hardware acceleration.
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00129.htm has instructions.

If that doesn't work, I would update the video drivers on the problem
computer.

Also, and this will seem odd, but do the two computers have the same
default printer driver installed? You might also want to see if making
the default printer for the problem computer be the same as one on the
"good" computer helps. You don't actually have to hook the printer up to
the problem computer, but you would need to install the drivers.
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00034.htm explains about this a bit
--

"Make sure you've got a printer driver installed and set as Default
PowerPoint needs to find a printer driver when it starts up. Install
some kind of printer driver and set it as your default. A generic
PostScript printer like one of the Apple Laserwriters makes a good
choice, as does the HP LaserJet III.

"Even if you never actually print to this driver, it'll make PowerPoint
happy. It doesn't matter whether the printer's connected or not. You
don't even need to own a printer.

"If your default printer is on a network and the driver's installed on
the network too, you'll have problems if the network goes down or if you
disconnect from the network. That's the same as having no default
printer at all. Laptop users should watch out for this one especially.

"It's best to install a local driver as your default printer, even
though you never print to it."

I don't know that that will help with your problem, but if the other
things don't work, it won't hurt to try it.
