Any work arounds? The overall request from the client is to have a PC
version (for sales) and a mac Version (for the Art Dept.). They want
to be able to output to pdf from both platforms and be able to merge
and have an exact match with fonts colors etc.
I always love a challenge - any suggestions?

I don't think this guarantees anything. Adobe's programs might be able to
utilize fonts that are not installed.
You need to check Fonts in Control Panel to make sure the fonts have been
installed.
Thanks for the quick reply - I've checked the fonts folder in the CP
and All 14 variations are in there. I have removed and re-installed
more than once - I don't get any errors during the install.
It looks to me that the fonts files that indicate "bolds, bold
italics, light italics are the ones NOT available in PPT.
What I am guessing is... the Bold and Italic formatting must be done
in PowerPoint using the Type Formatting buttons - UNFORTUNATELY they
do not match Adobe's output. eg Frutiger 65 Bold in Illustrator - is
not available in PPT, but Frutiger 55 Roman is?
Oh, and Also - the same fonts are installed on my mac (Mac & Win
OpenType) and I don't have ANY missing fonts. Go Figure?

In particular, Futura Heavy is showing up as Futura Medium. It looks fine to me, but it's going to cause confusion for my client.
Regarding your problem, I remember there was an issue with having TrueType, PostScript, and/or Opentype versions of the same font installed.
I don't remember for sure how it went, but I think I had Truetype and Opentype versions of Frutiger installed and once I got rid of the Truetype and just relied on the Opentype, everything I needed showed up. Or something to that effect.
