The problem is that since the configuration is never the same and when
Word launches, it needs to e-create the cache over and over again.
That's one of the few disadvantages with using apps like Font Agent or
Suitcase that enable or disable fonts. The only option I culd think of
would be to make sure Word is alas launche with the same set of fonts
enabled (tedious).
