[ESC: Word] Font List

[CyberTaz]

I've noticed this before and never paid it much mind, but the issue has been surfaced in the newsgroups.

There are a number of fonts listed in Word's font lists (both 2008 & 2004) whose names appear in Oriental characters. Many of them are actually Latin character sets but you can't recognize their names unless you can read Japanese, Korean, whatever. Two fonts in particular are;

Kozuka Mincho
Kozuka Gothic

Those are the names as they appear in Font Book as well as any apps other than Office (such as InDesign, Pages... even TextEdit). Each of the two fonts have six variants. In any of the Office programs those font names are shown as;



I’ve done the Validate/Resolve Dupes thing, trashed Office Font Cache (12) & have no other font issues of any kind. This has to be some sort of bug in Office which causes the font names to be misread. Can anyone provide an explanation... Or better yet, a fix?

That would be Wild Turkey, I'll have you know ... For medicinal purposes
only, of course. Like I said elsewhere, this Forum/NNTP/whatever-else
business is causing whiplash.
