Word is substituting Times New Roman for Courier font....

[cardman2467]

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

When Word docs written in Times New Roman are opened, the program is substituting this font for Courier as it doesn't seem to be able to recognize it! The Times New Roman font is installed in the Font Book but even in 'Word - Preferences - Font Substitution' there is no option to choose 'Times New Roman' even though something like 'Text Edit' provides an option to choose the font I want and the file in question looks fine. How dso I make Word accept the font I want?

Use CourierNew in font list instead

This is Ms Version of Courier which is mostly Mac only Font

Thanks John. The very first option worked immediately (I did check whether
the other 'caches' needed deleting but they weren't even there!). Great
site for helpful advice. Worth all the site searching! Thanks again. This
has put My wife's mind at ease.




Ian (cardman2467).

I would begin by suspecting a bad Font Cache. Try the following procedure:





Delete the Office Font Cache Quit all Office applications, trash the Office
Font Cache – Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
– empty the trash, and then relaunch Word. Delete the System and User
Font Caches Quit all Office applications and drag the following files
to the trash. Reboot, and then empty the trash. Com.apple.ATS.plist
(Home/Library/Preferencess) Com.apple.ATS/ (/Library/Caches) FontTablesAnnex
(/System/Library/Caches) All other files whose names include .ATS or Font
found in /System/Library/Caches, especially com.apple.ATS.System.fcache
and com.apple.ATSServer.FODB_System You can delete these files/folders
yourself or use a third-party utility to do it for you: Onyx (free), Cocktail,
TinkerTool System, or Font Finagler (shareware). Even if the application
doesn’t ask you to, you should reboot immediately after deleting the system
font caches.





Hope this helps

Thanks Ian:

Great! Thanks for getting back to us -- it's really important for us to
find out what works and what doesn't

Cheers
