One way that seems to work reasonably well is to plot on a
large X window, plot with thick lines and large characters,
grab with tvrd and write to jpeg, and then shrink to fit in
powerpoint. e.g.,
window,xsize=640*2,ysize=480*2
!p.thick=2 & !p.charsize=1.5
plot,...,thick=!p.thick*2,charsize=!p.charsize*2
write_jpeg,jpegfilename,tvrd(/true),/true

If you use the Z device, you can make the window even larger
and the lines thicker.
