In PowerPoint 2010, how do you change the font of an equation from the default of Cambria Math to, for instance, Times or Arial?

First, you need to insert an equation. On the ribbon, go to Insert>Equation. Type in an equation. Once you're done, select it and on the 'Design' tab, click the 'Normal Text' button on the Tools box.
Either way, Word uses the Cambria Math font to format equations. Cambria Math was developed in 2007 as the first font for the then-new equation tool in Word 2007, and it contained all the glyphs required to build equations.
To solve this issue: Click the Replace drop-down arrow, located on the Home tab, in the Editing group, and choose Replace Fonts. Under Replace, choose the font you want to replace, and under With select the new font that you'll use. Once you're done, click Replace to apply the changes.
Select the equation, then on the Design tab, Tools group, choose Normal text.
You can then select the contents of the equation and choose another font. Not all of the text will change; some probably have to remain as-is because not all fonts contain all of the needed symbols.
