Hello,
Here's my situation:
Awhile back I typed out a 138 page technical document with alot of Greek letters and symbols in it. I recently just opened it back up to review it and everything is correctly formatted, and all of the information is still there....however, the Greek letters and symbols are all missing (or I should say that they aren't being displayed, but instead there is a small box that looks like a place-marker for where the letters/symbols used to be (and probably still are, just not displayed)).
Somewhere between when I wrote the paper and re-opened it, I installed like 2,000 fonts on my computer. Having done so, I've looked in my drop-down menu in Word and noticed that "Greek" is no longer there. However, if I type "Greek" into the font box in the word Toolbar, then I can start typing Greek letters and symbols (however, the rest of my document still won't show the previously typed Greek letters and symbols).
I finally reinstalled MS Word 2008 and all of it's accompanying fonts, to no avail.
Any thoughts as to why this happened?
My only other thought (solution-wise), was to go to font-book and remove ALL of my fonts, then reinstall "Office Fonts" so that I have the basics again. Is this doable?
Anybody got an opinion one way or the other on this dilemma and/or my proposed solution?
Thanks,
Justin
