I recently bought 3 OpenType fonts for Power point in Polish. However,
when I open the presentation on the Mac the polish glyphs are still
missing. That is they don't automaticall fall into place as they do on
a PC. I have asked the people at Fonts.com where I purchased the
fonts and they asked if "PowerPoint is a UNICODE application that will
support the extended characters that are in the open Type fonts" I
have an older version of PP and am thinking that perhaps I need to
upgrade...but am not sure of the Unicode capabilities of PP 2004 for
Mac. Any ideas?

PowerPoint 2004 text is Unicode. Earlier versions (including X) are not. So,
yes, upgrade to Office 2004.
