How do you turn off cleartype in Powerpoint 2007 on Vista?

I've turned off Cleartype in Vista, but Powerpoint still has it on. Is there
a registry edit for this?
 
PPT 2007 will use the ClearType settings from Vista. So if you turned it
off in Vista, it is off for PPT.

Firstly, thank you for responding. But, check out my screen caps:

Top half is the slide pane, bottom half is the Notes pane. If that's not
cleartype, I don't know what it is. Here is a blowup view:

Word has a similar problem with its Reading View. Cleartype is enabled for
reading view even if you have cleartype turned off in Vista. I had to edit
the Registry to turn it off.

Anyone else have this Powerpoint issue?
 
I don't see anything wrong with the text in the screenshots...
Honestly, I don't know what ClearType looks like. I can only tell that
with it on, text looks much better on an LCD (and I only have LCDs).
