Thanks for your reply. If I am going to put the space in front of the font name, I find Verdana in three locations in OS X:
Home -> library -> fonts
Hard drive - > library -> fonts
Microsoft Office X -> office -> fonts
Should I change all three or just certain ones essential for Entourage?

Not X-specific, but that's perfectly fine in OS 9. I use that same trick
(slightly more than that, actually) to remake Arial into Geneva system-wide.
No more Arial.
As for placement in the list, the "wrapper name" of a font (the Finder
file's name) is pretty irrelevant. It's the internal names that get used for
font reference in the menu -- the FOND name or some such.
Space away. It can only not work. ;)
