SOLUTION! to weird font that defied Office X preference removals

[Norman R. Nager, Ph.D.]

Thanks to the persistent research and trial-and-error efforts of Brad H.,
who experienced the same problem of weird font with jammed-together
characters in Entourage, the solution to the problem has been found.

The problem was not resolved by removing Entourage and other Microsoft
preferences, as I attempted to do. Nor was it resolved by un-installing
everything in Office X and re-installing everything from the CD and
subsequent updates, as was suggested in this newsgroup. Nor was it solved
in creating a new identity as another suggested. Even a call to Microsoft
Tech Support by Brad H. stumped the experts there.

Brad's solution, which works for me, too, is:
Open System Preferences. Click on General Preferences. Then go down to
bottom to Font Smoothing Style. Set ³turn off font smoothing for _______
and smaller" at "eight"

It takes resources to do font smoothing, many would
suggest you turn it off for fonts smaller than 12,
meaning, 12 is smoothed, but less than wouldn't be...

was it not turned on for you before, or was it turned on
at a higher number???

I believe it was turned off for fonts smaller than 12
