Word Fonts etc.
Authored by: Squeak on Mar 26, '02 09:00:58AM

Yep,
I noticed that sometimes there's a little trouble with the fonts
in an "OS 9" System Folder. If you move them out of there
you're probably better off. Apply your fonts as needed. You can tell
if the font problems exist if NONE of the Office apps (except entourage)
work.

Funny, but font handling has always been a problem with MS Office.
My advice: use fonts sparingly!

I have an even worse problem with office... launch any office app and ALL apps including the finder quit. If I try again, everything quits again but this time the Finder won't come up again. I tried trashing every MS file in my prefs folder to no avail and getting rid of all the fonts in my ~/Library/Fonts folder. In a dummy user it worked fine so It seems the problem lies within my user's files. Any ideas? it seems weird that in an OS such as OS X every app quits.
