Email Messages with the Calibri Font sent to me by Window's Vista
users appear as gibberish in my email browser, Entourage v11.3.3. Is
there a way to fix this?

Sure. Stop sending HTML emails.

If *you* can't even display it properly, just think how poor schmucks
who receive your emails will feel when they can't read it properly
either.

HTML email is bad.

Try trashing the tasmanbrowser.cache and the
com.microsoft.browserfont.cache, found in your ~/Library/Caches.

Do you have the Calibri font installed on your machine?

I just got off the phone with Microsoft on this same issue.

It's a known bug within the Office 2004 team. Some point sizes on
Calibri (Microsoft's own font) do not render correctly in Office 2004
at all. They render fine in Apple applications (i.e. Textedit). It
is a known bug.

Unfortunately, the Office/Windows team have chosen to make Calibri the
default font for messages composed on Outlook 2007.

No word on whether or not the next update fixes this.

You could move the Calibri font out of the Fonts folder to see if this would
cause another font to be substituted for it

Only for HTML messages. Turn on Plain Text in Outlook and you'll never
have this problem - and, more importantly, you will no longer impose
fonts on other people when they view your messages.
