Sorry, I was not clear.  "Didn't work at all" means that I got no
Verdana fonts in the PS.  The bold and italics and all worked in
whatever font it was --- it's just that the font still wasn't Verdana.

I don't follow.  After swapping (i.e., my version above), most of the
text on my slides is in the "Verdana" font.  But, switching to an
italics or bold version of Verdana didn't work (that is, it continued to
use the "Verdana" font).

Thoughts?

Thanks!
