custom body font in macOS PowerPoint

In Slide Master on macOS PowerPoint, it's not ordinarily possible to choose body fonts outside of a default set. In order to change this, navigate to the folder

/Applications/Microsoft\ PowerPoint.app/Contents/Resources/Office\ Themes/Theme\ Fonts

Duplicate any of the existing font themes, e.g. Arial.xml. Then edit the duplicate, replacing all instances of Arial with whichever font you want. Restart PowerPoint and the dropdown list should now have a new option corresponding to the font you just added... until Office gets updated.

Note that some or all of these steps may require superuser privileges (i.e. sudo).
