powerpoint >> Wrong fonts displayed in PP2008

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

PPT 2008 seems to have a problem using fonts whose name is different to their filename.
This affects at least OTF fonts.
The font shown will be a replacement.

From the start this happens to every Mac who gets a fresh copy of PPT 2008.

The problem occurs with the LT Helvetica Std.
Duplicating it and change its filename from "HelveticaLtStd-Roman.otf" to "Helvetica Lt Std Roman.otf" and restart the Mac does help.
With the other variants (Black, Light) of this font this trick doesn't help.

Flushing font caches of Office and Mac doesn't help.

Is there somebody else who worked this out?

1. Wrong font size displayed 

I am finding that certain HTML e-mail messages are being displayed in
Entourage where parts of the message use the wrong font size. This is
annoying and makes the message hard to read.

What happens is that the sender has composed the message in a relatively
large font size; say, 14 or 16 point. When I view the message, though,
various individual words or phrases have reverted to 12 point in the same
typeface. Other font characteristics, such as bold or italic, are also
retained; it's only the size that has changed. (12 point is my default font
size in Entourage for HTML messages.)

The problematic messages are all sent via our institution's Exchange server
by individuals using some version of Windows Outlook client. I am, of
course, also receiving the messages from the Exchange server. I'm currently
using Entourage 11.3.6, but the problem existed with earlier versions as
well.

This problem is limited to Entourage, as the messages display correctly in
Outlook Web Access. There are some hints in their phrasing that suggests the
problematic messages may have been edited before being sent, but I can't be
sure of this.

Has anyone else seen this problem, and is there a fix? Thanks.

5. Presenter Tools On Wrong Display 

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

Hello,

When I use presenter tools during a presentation it displays on the external display, instead of the MacBook display. I cannot seem to reset it back to where it should be. Mirroring is off, and it used to display on the proper screen.

Thanks.
