Hidden Unicode MS Font

[Alex]

Greetings. We're working on a presentation (PowerPoint 2003, Windows XP Pro)
which also needs to run on Macs. Although we wrote the presentation in
Arial, there's also a Arial Unicode MS font included which causes a warning
on the Mac to pop-up: "The file may contain Far East text or formats that
PowerPoint can't display". I've went through each and every slide, Master
slides included, and checked that all the fonts are Arial. Nevertheless, the
Unicode font is still there when checking File/Properties > Contents.

Anyone has a clue how to get rid of unwanted and hidden fonts?

Thank you.

Hello,

Unfortunately, PowerPoint does not make it easy to locate and
remove/replace/reformat any text using a unicode font.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality (without having to resort to
VBA, add-ins or lengthy manual workarounds), don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
