Nam Nguyễn reports that when saving a .sxi file to .ppt then opening it in 
PowerPoint, the font is 
changed. (Windows XP on i386, OpenOffice.org 2.1 RC2 Vietnamese build.)

I myself observed this font change (Mac OSX Intel, same version), but when 
opening a PowerPoint file 
and saving it to .odt (OpenDocument) in Impress. (Note: saving .ppt as .sxi 
displayed accurately on my 
system.) 

I'd downloaded the file from the Net: a beautiful .ppt slideshow raising 
awareness about a health matter. 
It looked really impressive (sic) in .ppt format, but when I saved it in .odt 
format, the font had changed, 
throughout the document. Yuk.

The Vietnamese characters were still shown in both these cases (Windows XP > 
PPT and Mac OSX Intel > 
.odt), but in font(s) different from the original file. In both cases, this 
meant fonts less suitable for 
Vietnamese, which looked pretty awful. So this problem will put users off using 
the app. :(

In my case (Mac OSX Intel), the original PowerPoint file used Georgia, 
Helvetica Neue and Verdana. 
The .odt version had converted them all to Times. Interestingly, when the .ppt 
version is open, the font 
picker in the toolbar shows Times by default, unless you select an existing 
textbox.

Please see the attached two screenshots.

I will ask Nam for further details on which fonts were involved.
