Font problem and Office X

[John Miller]

I am using OS X version 10.3.3 and Office version 10.1.5. Here is my
problem. When I try to use the font drop down in the formatting tool
bar, the formatting palette and the font drop down in the menu bar the
font maps to the wrong font. When I click on say tahoma, the selected
font switches to verdena not tahoma. This does not happen when I use
the format drop down from the menu bar and select fonts.

Any suggestions to fix this problem. I have reinstalled Office and
repaired permissions with no change in this problem.

Thanks

This is usually caused by a corrupt font. MS has a fairly good
troubleshooting procedure at

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313535

Note that once you identify the folder, the procedure has you test fonts
one at a time - it's usually more efficient to remove half of them, see
if that solves the problem. If it does, the problem is in that half; if
not, it's in the half that you leave in the folder. Further subdivide
the half that contains the problem font until you isolate it.
