"Corrupt" fonts in Word

[Bob Murray]

I've suffered through this same problem since Tiger 10.4.3 > 10.4.4. My
son's G4 is running 10.4.3 and does'nt experience the problem. I've
just upgrade to 10.4.6 and the problem has gone away (at least for
now). I agree that this was an Apple problem; could it be they actually
fixed it? If you're willing to go to 10.4.6, I hope this works for
everyone. I'd like to know if this has worked for anyone else.

Good luck.
Bob
