--- Comment #2 from Y <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for the workaround.

The professor's software looked like windows 7 and MS Office 2010.  I
experienced similar, though less drammatic issues with the PPTs of another
professor.  In his case I am sure he used MS Office 2010 on Windows 7. 
Attribudes such as bold/italic/underline do not match between what is shown on
his screen and what I get on LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 / Xubuntu 13.10.

You will forgive me for not trying the LibreOffice version you are suggesting,
for three reasons:

(1) This is my production machine.  I cannot afford to cause unnecessary
downtime, nor can I afford backward-incompatibility within my documents.

(2) Installing French localized software on my English localized machine is
probably not a good idea.  The PPT is in French because I am temporarily on
academic exchange in a French-speaking university.

(3) For Ubuntu, I prefer software from the official repositories or from
Ubuntu-hosted PPAs such as https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa or
for the specific version you are suggesting
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-4-0

I will be back home, where I have a spare machine that I can experiment with,
after the New Year.  If you still want me to test an older version of
LibreOffice on Ubuntu, I can do it then on that machine, but frankly I doubt
such a test will have much value.

Libreoffice may say that the font used is Wingdings, but MS Office, on which
the file was created and opens correctly, says it is not.  I will leave it up
to you to conclude which one of the two is right and which one is wrong.
