Removing the 77 fonts solved the problem for me. Only a few of the 77 fonts cause an appearance problem for me: "Cooper Black" and one (or more?) of the 8 fonts that don't show up in Font Book.
Because you've inquired, I just added back some (68) of the 77 fonts - those that I know don't result in the appearance problem in one specific program; the 68 that I loaded back are all of the fonts that _appear_ in Font Book - except for "Cooper Black" . (I didn't load any of the 8 "Windows TrueType" fonts that don't appear in Font Book.) Note: I have no idea whether any of these 68 fonts might result in an appearance problem in some other program. Let's hope I remember them if I see a font appearance problem in some program in the future. on 5/25/04 10:54 AM, Carlington Spence at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Are you guys saying that the problem was resolved when you remove the 77 > fonts? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Chirpich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: May 24, 2004 10:32 AM > To: Entourage:mac Talk > Subject: Re: Office 2004: Entourage installs fonts that interfere > withanother program > > on 5/24/04 1:35 AM, Barry Wainwright at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> On 24/5/04 5:06 am, "Tom Chirpich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >>> When Entourage 2004 is first launched, it installs 77 fonts in my user >>> folder (by copying them from an Office:Fonts folder).
