It may not be very well documented by Microsoft, but to say it is not
documented *anywhere* is not accurate, since we have had a great deal of
discussion of this point here (in addition to the suggestions given in
my ebook about Word 2004). Just to sum up my own conclusions, I strongly
recommend leaving in place the Microsoft-installed versions of:
Arial
MS Mincho
MS PGothic
MS PMincho
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet
Verdana
Wingdings / 2 / 3
Use Font Book to disable conflicting versions either in /Library or in
Classic.
The only font management software I can come close to recommending,
aside from Font Book which is built in, is Font Agent Pro. It is very
hard for me to believe that you really need "several hundred fonts"
enabled at all times.
After making font changes I recommend clearing both Apple's font caches
(e.g. run Font Finagler) and Microsoft's font cache file and restarting
the computer. m.
