Cannot set Japanese (non-Roman) font in Powerpoint

Title: Cannot set Japanese (non-Roman) font in Powerpoint
This is an odd problem I'm having. I'm trying to set the font in Powerpoint using AppleScript and it seems to be failing on the Script Editor side for non-Roman font names. For example, if I enter the following into a new script and press compile

tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
do Visual Basic "CommandBars.FindControl( msoControlComboBox , 1728 , \"\" , 0 ).Text = \"
ÉqÉâÉMÉmäpÉS Pro W3\""
end tell


It turns into this yankee doodle:

tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
do Visual Basic "CommandBars.FindControl( msoControlComboBox , 1728 , \"\" , 0 ).Text = \"ÉqÉâÉMÉmäpÉS Pro W3\""
end tell


And of course, it fails. Is it possible to set this font via AppleScript?
