Known font incompatibilities?

Here's a separate problem with the same Mac using Entourage and OS X Tiger
on an iMac G5.

Entourage's "Database Daemon" would consistently lock up when Entourage was
launched. No way to avoid it.

After reinstalling and updating Entourage the problem persisted. Suspecting
fonts I went in to FontBook and turned off all the foreign language fonts.
From that point forward the program works fine.

Are there known problems between Entourage and OS X Tiger's foreign language
fonts?

Not exactly, but fonts are a notorious source of problems throughout Mac
OS X, and Office just makes it worse because of it adds its own layer of
font caching. You may have turned off a bad or conflicting font, or
maybe just changing the font situation caused things to be recached. m.
