Have you used one of the alternatives? How did it compare to Impress? You can use LaTeX with Beamer too. When document is exported as PDF, you shouldn't have any surprise (in the layout) during the presentation. But it is less user-friendly, of course (especially when you never uses LaTeX).

Wha- how can a typeface older than 150 years involve a patent that is still active today? Patents don't last that long. If it was patented recently enough for the patent to still be active, it would have to be invalid. I also find it hard to believe that the guy who made the typeface lived

I'm pretty sure patents don't work that way. If they can be renewed at all, they can only be renewed once for 10 or so additional years. There is no way a patent in the U.S. can last 150 years. Even copyright doesn't normally last that long yet.
