When I open a PowerPoint presentation, the text is messed up.

This happens even if I create a new file. What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

I'm using Microsoft PowerPoint 2007, the font is Calibri (Body).

Change the default printer to other printer (either the standard XPS printer or any other). This is because for inexplicable reason, PowerPoint (the only non-print oriented Office app) utilize something from the default printer driver info for rendering the font. On old printer (think dot-matrix old) it's incompatible with the newer PowerPoint.
