Which fonts to use in Power Point that will look good in FCP5

I have a question about text used in Power Point. I have a presentation that was created in MSPP 2003 using Arial fonts. When I save the slides as .jpg and bring them into my FCP5 video the text is a mess. Is there a font or family of fonts that would look better in the video? Thanks for you help.

The font should still look fine. You may want to try resizing the frames in PS, then bring into FCP.

What size are the original images exported out of PP?

Each image is about 95kb. I do not know the resolution PP saved them as.

Are you looking at FCP on an external broadcast monitor or your computer monitor?
It may just be the preview on your comp monitor. Try setting the canvas size to 100% and rendering it.
Good Luck! TC

The canvas is set to 100%. I am viewing these on a 23" Apple Cinema Display. I will render and see what it looks like. Thanks!!
