Office 2004 Interferes with Arabic in Safari and Mail App

H

Haroon

I'm posting this here in hopes that MacBU will eventually address this
on their official Office 2004 support page. This is an issue that many
less-savvy users may not be able to figure out.

After installing Office 2004 Arabic letters are no longer connected in
Safari and Mail app. Apparently Office 2004 installs its own version
of Times New Roman and Arial into ~/Library/Fonts that DO NOT support
Arabic, and end up taking precedence over the default Arial and Times
New Roman in /Library/Fonts. The solution is to either delete these
two Office-installed fonts from ~/Library/Fonts, or disable them in
Font Book.

This problem would effect Farsi and Urdu as well, though I'm not sure
about Hebrew.
