Weird MS P japanes font added, cant remove

[imclaudia]

Hi,

My Powerpoint 2004 (part of Office suite) for Mac, started adding this
weird MS P and japanese characters to my presentations. When I start
one the font is immediately added. I caanot go to font replace because
it tells me a double byte font cannot be replaced by a single byte
font. I need help! When I send the PPt to my PC client he gets an error
message saying he does not have the font, and he too cannot replace it.
Anyone having htis issue?

thanks!
