If you still have access to PowerPoint 2002, you can also open the
presentation there and do a replace fonts to change the read-only font to a
font you have full access to. Then, when you open the presentation in 2003,
you won't get the errors.
(Word has it that the new restriction was added because the legal eagles at
Microsoft were concerned that the font developers would get upset if PPT
kept letting people work with the non-embeddable fonts. One thing that
happens with the non-embeddable fonts is that you don't have the whole font
anyway, just the characters used in the presentation. This is why sometimes
you get boxes instead of characters with embedded fonts.)

Actualy, that's not true...some of my 2002 presentations give me an error
that it comptains read-only embedded fonts and I can't edit it...not sure
what that's about...but it doesn't lock me up...I just can't edit that
presentation...but my workaround is opening a new presentation in 2003 and
importing all the slides in from the 2002 presentation, then I can edit it
fine.
