Hey Allan, You don't need to be running in Classic mode for fonts in your OS 9 System Folder to be a potential problem. OS X loads those font resources, Classic or not.
Your right, your problem is not quite the same as those cited in those links but a font menu which appears gibberish appears to be a clue. It doesn't take but a moment to find out if your OS 9 fonts are a problem. Other things to try would be to: Delete specific Office X preferences Replace Microsoft flavored fonts with updates they have on their web site Make sure you have installed the Office X Service Release 1 Somewhere I vaguely recall reading about other user's inability to select from their font menu the font they were intending to select. Maybe this will ring a bell with someone.
