Hi there.

I'm having a problem opening up all Office products. When I open Word, for
instance, the first thing the title window shows is that it's "optimizing
font performance," which is a normal setup that every program goes through
upon opening. At that point though, it opens a separate window warning me
that my font is corrupt and should be removed. I apparently have over 200
fonts that are suddenly corrupt because Word opens up a separate window for
each font!!! I am using a Mac and my fonts are contained in a program called
FontBook. I've tried to disable most of these fonts, but to no avail! These
fonts are legit--it's even telling me that system fonts such as Times, are
corrupt. These fonts work in other programs, however.

Is there a way to turn off the "optimizing font performance" when I open
Word, or do I need to reload every font on my system? Could there be a
conflict between Office and FontBook? I have only recently started to have
problems.

Thanks for your help.

This is not something I've ever seen in WinWord, and I'd be tempted to say
it's not related to Word, but given that this is MacWord, you're probably
better off asking in a NG devoted to MacWord. See

Alrighty. Thanks!
