I have a really weird phenomenon with Word 2004/OSX 10.4.9 on a G5 1.8. This concerns fonts of which I use a subset of the installed fonts. I have verified them all and resolved duplicates and no apparent problems. My default font, set in Normal Style, is Times New Roman Regular 10pt. In all my old documents and in new documents started using templates there is no problem. A new blank document, however refuses to display or print Times New Roman. It says it is Times New Roman but on screen it obviously is some other font which I can not identify, rather chunky and bold with odd spacing. Years back in System 6 days I would say the font ID numbers had got swapped! Styles, font, size etc all check out on the formatting pallette, but it is not correct. Switching to another font also yields the same rather bold appearance with bad spacing. This carries over into printing, it is not just on screen.
I am bushed on this one - help please!

Hi Severin,

Have you tried trashing the Office Font Cache?
Quit all Office applications, trash the Office Font Cache – Home/ Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11) – empty the trash, and then relaunch Word.

Cheers,
Ronni
