ACK.
Most likely this comes from http://www.loria.fr/~thome/youpla/. Looking
at the 'development' version 0.4, there is indeed such a fd file. The
aim of the fd files in youpla is to have the CM fonts arbitrarily
scalable. The recommended way of doing this is
\RequirePackage{fix-cm}
\documentclass[<options>]{<class>}
[...]
Actually, fix-cm.sty might help in your case, but most likely you still
should remove the fd files from youpla and rebuild the formats.
As a side note, I find it really strange that somebody wants to use CM
fonts for presentations. I would switch to beamer.cls (package
latex-beamer) for presentations.
