No.

And in fact, when I install FiraMono-Regular and open the .PPTX (v.14 Office
2010) in PowerPoint 2007, the 24 pt Fira Mono also wraps inside the PowerPoint
textbox. Turns out our DejaVu Sans Mono replacement in 24pt is actually very
close in metrics.  And I have to reduce font size to 17.5pt to get it to fit in
PowerPoint 2007.

Since it also affects earlier MS Office builds, there may be some direct
formatting applied to the font in the document textbox that is not being picked
up/described in the OOXML. That would be a NOTOURBUG, or at most a import
filter issue. I didn't see anything in the XML but one of the filter devs might
have a better idea.

But, I'll check a MS Office 2010 and 2013 build of PowerPoint and see how those
behave with FiraMono vs. DejaVu Sans Mono.

Otherwise still suggest this be closed as duplicate of bug 61134, the UI issue
being the general case of not knowing what the substitute font is short of
comparing character by character against a font map.
