Fixing Office v.X crashes, revisited
Authored by: j0nathan on Dec 02, '03 07:32:38AM

I have the same problem with Word, though none of the Office Apps, though interestingly, Word opens fine when Font Book is running.

This points to it being a font problem though I've scanned my fonts with Font Doctor which shows no problems.

To follow up, I've now diagnosed the problem: Word objected to OS9 font Geneva being disabled by Font Book and will not start while this font is disabled and Font Book is not running. The same may be the same of other OS9 fonts disabled by Font Book.
