This problem originally cropped up in Frame Labels but it occurs in the
simplest situation:
tstlbltxt = Graphics[Text["Scale (inches)", Scaled[{.5, .5}], TextStyle
-> {FontSize -> 12}]]
Show[tstlbltxt, ImageSize -> 500]
I get what you'd expect.
If I copy the graphics as a metafile and paste as a picture into
PowerPoint, still no problem.
HOWEVER: if I attempt to edit the "picuture" OR I give the PPT file to
someone else, the parentheses have become HUGE.
I've tried quite a few of the options like FontFamily->"Times" etc.
Have I missed something?
Is it a bug?
Is there a workaround?

Nobody here thinks I speak for Boeing.
You shouldn't either.
