Certain fonts will be butchered by the PC running PowerPoint. Expect
font subsitution and unexpected line-wrapping and such. Your faculty
should be told to convert all of the fonts to the limited subset that
both machines have--for example choose Arial rather than Helvetica.
Also expect problems with Quicktime Movies, as many PCs don't have
QuickTime installed.

Happens in both directions. If the PPT says to use BlomperbergBoldItalic
and it's not on the system, PowerPoint (or rather the operating system) has
to substitutute *something*. It's that or skip displaying the text.
