Mac Forum / Applications / Word / February 2006weird font issue in Word X for Mac
I'm setting up templates for a client, and I've changed the default font, the Normal style in the document, and in the Normal template. However, when I start typing in a document, even though the style name is correct, it always defaults back to Times. If I select the text and "clear formatting", it returns it to the correct font. If I insert the cursor into a word that's in the correct font, it changes the font for that word to Times. What's going on there? How do I stop that? > I'm setting up templates for a client, and I've changed the default > font, the Normal style in the document, and in the Normal template.

I think your best bet is to take the usual font-cache clearing steps and see if that fixes it. Use Font Book to look for font conflicts, and fix them. Trash Office's font cache file, run Font Finagler or some other cache cleaner to program to get rid of the system's font caches. Restart the computer. See if things improve... m.

It's free and smart. http://www.tidbits.com Yes, I've seen it too, in Word X (not 2004) if you were trying to force it to use a Unicode font that contained characters outside the range of Apple's "International" character set. In other words, if you try to force it to use a full Unicode version of a font, it will fall back to its hard-coded default...

It doesn't seem to be a problem for the client, though, so I can live with it on my end. |
