Probably doesn't even need PDF. The slides are approximately as
complex as those in Ned Batchelder's "Pragmatic Unicode" presentation,
which is represented entirely in text. Maybe there's some slight
additional complications, but not many.

I'd really like to see a lot more presentations done in pure text.
Scrap the graphics, scrap the fancy transitions, they aren't helping
you make your case anyway. Just give me the content. Tell me what
you're saying. I don't care about the fluff.

For serious Unicode presentations, PDF or XPS are more
or less the only valid candidates. For the simple reason,
these file formats embed the "fonts" (in "quotes", because it's
a litte bit more complicate).

Examples: unicode.org: the Unicode Character Code Charts.
