After reading some forums, I learned of my font problem. Still ignorant of the problem, I tried to open a terminal window and only got a small box with a red dot. So that, under 'All Fonts' there are no fonts and the same for user and computer. I went to Font Book and somehow managed to remove my fonts. After installing Office 08 on my machine, my fonts were messed up. One your apps have loaded, quit your Microsoft Office apps and relaunch them a second time to see your updated fonts list.I did what is hardly pardonable - installing the m$oft I ran from on my Mac. defaults write PrioritizedFonts -array 'Helvetica-Light' 'Helvetica' 'Helvetica-LightOblique' 'TimesNewRomanPSMT' Postscript names here are case-sensitive and must match exactly what Font Book.app provides. Type the command ' defaults write PrioritizedFonts -array 'postscript name 1' 'postscript name 2' 'etc.'’ and hit return to run it. Select the font you want to prioritize in the center paneĮnsure Font Information is selected in the top left of the window, and find the PostScript Name field in the right pane and copy it. Launch Font Book (open applications folder in Finder, find and launch 'Font book.app') Note: Postscript names are not the same as font families and each style will have a different postscript name, so to prioritize an entire font family you may need to add multiple names. You can work around this by setting the fonts you need that do not appear as prioritized fonts. This causes some fonts not to appear in the font picker.

If you have multiple versions, then make sure the latest version of the font is active. You may see a message bar saying 'We were unable to load all your fonts.
