After installing MS Office 2011, Safari fonts are displaying incorrectly

I'm running OS X v. 10.6.4 on an Intel iMac.
This morning, I installed Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, and when I went to my safari browser and googled something, my fonts look like the image below:
Even as I'm typing this now, this font is showing the same way! I did a thorough uninstall of MS Office, emptied my font cache, browser cache, reset safari, logged out + in, restarted my comp 100 times, and I'm at a loss.
Is it possible my arial font was corrupted somehow? I know Office installs its own evil fonts, which I'm pretty sure I have now deleted. How would I get a new, working version of the default Arial font and reinstall it?

Office 2011 installs a bunch of fonts that conflict with those installed by OS X. Read section 3 of Font Management in OS X to see which to remove, and which to keep.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • Upgrade to  Snow Leopard before or after install new Office 2011 for Business?

    I'm about to upgrade from Leopard to snow leopard. I also am going to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011 for Business and then download the Tiger OS.
    Should I install Office 2011 first (currently use 2004 Office) BEFORE I install Snow Leopard, or after?

    As long as you have the 10.6 DVD, you are all set. It probably contains 10.6.3, and you will then have to use Software Update to get to 10.6.8. You can do that with Word updated or not.
    Upgrading to 10.7 will add a Lion Recovery partition to your Hard drive. When you are ready to do that, you may want to run Disk Utility Verify first.
    All these cats make my head spin, so I just use the numbers.
    If you are concerned about losing something, shouldn't you have a backup? Add word to your backup and don't worry about losing anything.

  • New iMac- installed Office 2011, default font troubles

    A friend just purchased a 25" iMac. All is well, until I install MS Office 2011. I haven't seen this, but she reports font problems (foreign language defaults or file import gibberish, I don't now). Is this a common complaint. The OS is Mavericks.

    The font conflicts came from the installation of Office 2011. It installs a handful of old, OS 9 style TrueType fonts that conflict with the newer OpenType fonts installed by OS X. While you already did use Font Book to resolve the conflicts (it turned one or the other off), you should remove the offending older fonts from the drive.
    Remove the following Mac legacy TrueType suitcase fonts from the /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/ folder:
    Andale Mono
    Arial Black
    Arial Narrow
    Arial Rounded Bold
    Comic Sans MS
    Georgia
    Impact
    Tahoma
    Trebuchet MS
    Note that the older fonts do not have a file extension, such as .ttf . Font Book doesn't like it when you manually remove fonts from the drive. So after getting rid of the old fonts, do the following to reset Font Book's database.
    Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point. Yosemite is a bit different. Whether it's a Safe Mode boot or a normal one, you get the same progress bar. It just takes longer to get to the desktop in Safe Mode. So hold the Shift key until you get to the desktop.
    OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
    All in all, since the conflicts have already been resolved, you don't have to do any of this. But Font Book doesn't tell you which version of a conflicting font it disabled. For all the user knows, the much older fonts could be the active ones, and many newer apps don't work well with non Unicode fonts.

  • Firefox Not Responding after Installing Microsoft Office 10

    After installing Microsoft Office 10 (student and home edition) on my laptop, I noticed that Firefox is going into the state 'Not Responding' every time I access it - it takes about 10 secs to 'think' and then comes back online. It continues to do this every time I want to access a new page, new link, click on mail in Yahoo Mail, etc. Has anyone experienced this issue?

    1) Check the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/JServ/etc/logs/jvm
    has servral logs for OACoreGroup Servlets that are initialied
    2) You might have to enable the debug option in jserv.properties and jserv.conf
    (find IsItWorking.java in Metalink for the appropriate note )
    3) If this is 403 forbidden then check trusted.conf alongside httpd.conf
    pls keep posted about how this issue got resolved.

    JSP not responding after installing 11.5.10.2 on IBM
    HACMP
    i have finished installing Oracle applications
    11.5.10.2 on IBM clusters (HACMP version 5.1)its a
    multinode setup with mutual failover. other
    applications are working fine. the installation went
    well. but the final part on the middle tier , during
    the post install checks it says JSP not responding. I
    checked the apache error-log and saw the follwoing
    entry
    [Sun Apr 23 21:04:21 2006] [error] [client
    172.29.200.74] client denied by server configuration:
    /appl/oracle/devcomn/portal/
    DEV_erpappssrv/oprocmgr-service
    >
    that bafles me because that ip address was not used
    in the installation. its the persistent ip address of
    the HACMP. the service ip that was used in the
    configuration file was 172.29.200.75
    however there is no mention of this in the error
    log.i also edited the oprocmgr.conf in the
    Apache/conf directory after which i dont get the
    error however the servlets pages then hangs and
    returns page cannot be displayed error on internet
    explorer. no error is registered on the error log.
    the jdk am using is 1.4.2 which is the recommended
    one.
    what this means is that i cannot access the self
    service pages and as you know you need self service
    pages to access the application in 11.5.10.2
    i opened a TAR with oracle on 8th April 2006 and till
    today i have not been able to get a solution.
    I am hoping that i will get someone in this forum who
    has met a similar problem or who has an insight into
    how we can solve this problem already am weeks past
    the target go live!!!
    Please Kindly help

  • Finder restart every two seconds! After install security update 2011-005

    After install security update 2011-005, I rebot my computer and every seemed normal, until I saw that started to restart the finder.
    Help me! please.
    PD: I try to delete the famous "com.apple.finder.plist" but I can't found them.
    Is a MacBook Pro 13''  mid 2009  OS X Lion (10.7.1)

    You may be able to repair this with 10.4.8 PPC Combo Update
    This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

  • 'CRT not initialized' error after installing MS Office 2010

    Hi,
    I encountered 'CRT not initialized error' after installing MS Office 2010. I think that with previous version of CVI there were no problems. But, with Labwindows/CVI 2012 error has outbroken. The details are as follows.
    - OS : windows 7 Enterprise (32bit)
    - Labwindows/CVI (v12.0.0 (422))
    - MS Office 2010 (word, powerpoint, excel)
    #1. clean install windows 7 (32 bit)
    #2. install Labwindows/CVI v12.0.0 and device drivers (DAQ, Motion)
    #3. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
    #4. online update windows 7 (service pack, explorer 9, and etc)
    #5. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
    #6. install MS Office 2010
    #7. compile and run attached test program : 'CRT error'
    #8. uninstall MS Office 2010
    #9. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
    I think there are some conflicts between office 2010 and labwindows v12.0.0. How can I solve this problem?
    Thank you in advance.

    More specifically, I decided that some parts of MS Office files and features of NI's motion library conflicts. Because in the attacted sample program, if I exclude NI-Motion functions then the program excutes nicely. But if I include NI-Motion fucntion, for example flex_select_signal, then the 'CRT not initialized' error occurs.
    To solve this problem I tried step by step installation check for MS Office 2010. During each step I included more optional features in MS Office and after each installation I compiled and executed my sample program. At finally, I found that the addtional part of MS Office 2010, if I install Office Sharing Function>Microsoft IME(Korean), then the 'CRT not initialized' error occurs.
    Temporarly, I solved the problem with NOT installing 'Office Sharing Function>Microsoft IME(Korean)' optional feature in the MS Office 2010.
    Could you tell me why this problem occur?

  • After installing Mavericks, office for mac 2008 doesn't work properly

    After installing mavericks, office for mac 2008 is slow, unresponsive a lot of the time, and slows my whole mac down if i want to do other things at the same time. Is there a solution that doesn't involve spending loads of money on a newer version of office for mac?

    All Good. Are there any pending updates for MS Office by chance? Just check under the Help menu in the top Menu when you open Word.
    I highly recommend you to reinstall the latest Office 2008 update > http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36897 Note that Office 2008 is not supported by Microsoft anymore (thanks Mende1 for the link)

    Thanks Kurt!  I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close.  I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank.  In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well.  Thanks for your help!

    Contact Microsoft support and ask for help.  You've paid for the kit, so installation-time support is part of the expectations.  They'll probably suggest a Repair Permissions and a Verify Disk pass, both performed by booting the installation DVD and using Disk Utility from the Utilities menu item, and selecting those two repairs.

  • Bullet (unordered) sublists within number (ordered) lists are displayed incorrectly

    In my FrameMaker source, I've got the usual L1 Bullet List,
    L2 Number List, L3 Bullet Sublist, L4 Number Sublist styles
    defined. I've imported the source by reference into RoboHelp, and
    I've mapped the FrameMaker styles via fmstyles.css to RoboHelp
    styles. I've resolved almost all the style issues, but a nasty one
    remains: Bullet sublists within number lists are not displayed
    properly.
    All the combinations of lists and sublists look fine in
    FrameMaker. In the help (WebHelp) that RoboHelp produces, bullet
    sublists within bullet lists are displayed as I would expect: The
    sublists are indented and have a different bullet style (circles
    rather than disks) relative to the "parent" list. Bullet sublists
    within number lists, however, are displayed incorrectly. They are
    indented too far (twice as far as I they should be), and they use
    the wrong bullet style (circles rather than disks). No matter how
    many times I use the style editor to try to convince RoboHelp to
    display bullet sublists within number with the correct indentation
    and bullet style, I get the same result. Has anyone every fought
    this battle and won? If so, how did you do it?
    Thanks!

    I think you cannot mix bullet and numbered lists at different
    levels during the import because RoboHelp makes one single list out
    of the entire list/sublist order. I.e., after the import, all list
    items are simple items in one list even though they belonged to
    different list levels in the original document.
    I did succeed in using bulleted sublists within normal bullet
    lists. I created a second CSS style in the import dialog (with a
    larger indention) and mapped it to the FM-style that resembles the
    sublist items.But due to RH putting all items into one list, you
    cannot mix different bullet styles. Most browsers will ignore this
    and display a sinlge bullet style for all items in the list.

    Hi Treenr3,
    Sounds like you have been on the right track with regard to troubleshooting this issue. It may be worth going over the font troubleshooting in the following article, just to double check (it refers to a previous version of iTunes, but the troubleshooting steps should be similar).

    It may also be worth trying some isolation troubleshooting in new test user account with just a couple of the tracks that are having issues to see if it persists.
