Corrupt fonts won't allow me to Office programs

[jimmyjames19]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC

All Office programs will not open, the dialog box indicates that fonts are corrupt. I have no problems with the fonts in any other program and Fontbook shows that there is no problems with any of the fonts. Any ideas?

Use Linotype FontExplorer X (which is a free download). Do a "Clean System
Fonts Folders" which cleans out any fonts not installed by the Mac OS X
Installation (i.e. ones you install yourself) and puts them in a folder on
your desktop to do with what you want.

Is it really *all* Office programs? *IF* and only if this page
describes your problem pretty much exactly, follow the remedies suggested.

If that doesn't help, consider Diane's advice--and if that still doesn't
help, you need to give some exact error messages and more description to
get better help. Can't see your screen from here....
