MS Office 2011 fonts don't appear on screen.

Earlier this year I upgraded to MS Office 2011. The immediate effect was that I couldn't see text on screen in most of my documents (Word, Powerpoint, Excel). I was able to determine that I had font conflicts, so I eliminated the conflicts using Font Book and deleted my MS Office Font Caches, and was good to go. However, I recently upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7 and the problem returned. I went back to Font Book to eliminate conflicts, but then could not find where the MS Office Font Caches are so I can delete them.
I also tried to install Font Nuke to clear the issue, but it is not compatible with 10.7 yet.
Was there some sort of change to Font Caches in 10.7? How can I get MS Office to show the actual text in documents on the screen?

You could try clearing the font caches with Font Finagler.

Microsoft Office 2011 Font Issues with Yosemite Upgrade

My firm's standard font (Din) is no longer recognized by Microsoft Office applications, as it was with Mavericks and previous. Thinking it was a font issue, I tested out TTF and OTF files with no luck. Has anyone been experiencing font problems and is there a workaround?

And is any difference (I mean in quality) between 2011 Microsoft offices to upgrades 2008 office? or they will be same?
The quality will be the same. The quantity might be different. The special upgrade promotion offer is for will allow you to download Office 2011. Sometimes, to reduce the file size, the downloaded version doesn't come with all the extras that the CD version does.
I think the licensing is the biggest hassle. When you need to reinstall, you enter your license key and then it may ask for your Office 2008 license key too. Sometimes the installer will try to scan your disk to make sure you have installed the old version too.
Of course, all of this is just speculation on my part based on past experiences with similar products. The full version will be available in four weeks. I already have Office 2008 and plan to upgrade as soon as I can.

CS2 and Windows 7 x64 Pro -- some PS1 fonts don't appear in Photoshop.

Since purchasing a new computer running Windows 7 x64 Pro, several of my fonts no longer appear in Photoshop CS2. They were functioning perfectly on my previous system running XP. The particular fonts that do not appear are Type 1 fonts, but other Type 1 fonts function normally. Adobe does not provide support for CS2 on Windows 7 systems. Since I use Photoshop daily, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

For Win7 64bit Pro or Ultimate (or Enterprise?) this is ONE example of using Virtual XP

Is anyone else dumbfounded that photos on iphone5 don't appear full screen?

Hi,
I've read a posting and a response that says the iphone5 photos don't fill the screen by design.
Am I alone in finding this unacceptable and totally bizarre? Surely we bought a bigger screen to use the additional real estate?
Paul.

The camera takes 3264x2448 pictures (8 MP); 4:3 ratio. The iPhone 5 screen is 1136x640. A 4:3 on that screen can not be bigger than 853x640 without some of the picture being cut off, so it can't fill the screen.
To fill the screen with a picture that does not have the same ratio as the screen, part of the picture must be cut off or the picture must be stretched to fit.
If you want pictures the same shape as the screen, crop them in the Camera app.

After new update app store says 2 apps are installed but they don't appear on screen

Phone issues required restore and sych and update of new phone - when completed 2 apps were missing from the screen. I found them thru 'search' and can use them on the phone that way. After checking to see if I could reinstall from App Store they were shown as 'installed'. Anyone else have this issue?

Can't open Microsoft Office 2011 even after unistalling then reinstalling. Error message comes up before launch. What do I do? Can I fix this? I need to activate Microsoft Office within 15 days!!

I recently got a new MacBook Pro Running on OSX Mavericks and used Time Machine to move my documents and applications. However Microsoft Office Student/ Home applications did not work and requested a product key. I did not have the product key for it as I had installed Microsoft a long time ago, so I purchased a new Mincrosoft Office 2011 Student/Home Pin to install Microsoft Office. Everything installed fine, however when I go to open it it failed to open.
I need to activate my Microsoft Office within 15 days apparently and this is done when the application is launched. However none of the Microsoft Office applications do Launch (not Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook).
Whenever I tried to open one of the named above the Microsoft Error Reporting App would pop up and list the errors. I was advised on other support pages to disenable this app so I have done that but now Word is now giving its own error message saying:

I don't know or understand what is stopping me from launching my Misrosoft Office. I am wondering if others have encountered similar problems with OSX Mavericks and the Microsoft Office 2011? Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get it to launch?
I need to get hold of my Word and Powerpoint Documents ASAP.

This indicates you had a bad install. You need to completely remove Office and reinstall using your new CD Key. See instructions here. Do not do the simple remove, Use the COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL FILES steps.

so I purchased a new Mincrosoft Office 2011 Student/Home Pin to install Microsoft Office.
You don't purchase a PIN. A PIN is generated when you install Office. You need a CD Key. If you bought Office365, you activate online.
I have issues with the Microsoft User Data - are there supposed to be two? and where exactly do they belon. They are in the Documents file at the moment.
Unless you used Outlook or Entourage you can delete both Microsoft User Data folders. When you install Office it will create a new one. Only Outlook & Entourage used this folder for data. W,E,P stores it's data in the User's Library/Application Support/Microsoft folder now.

Some fonts do not appear in InDesign

Some fonts do not appear in InDesign although they can be used in Word, Pagemaker and show in Adobe Typemanager.

Can you name one?
These are the most common causes of people complaining "My fonts don't appear":
(a) Smart name sorting. "New Century Schoolbook" sorts under "C", not "N". "Adobe Garamond" sorts under "G". (I call this 'smart' sorting because apparently it isn't the same as, ehm, dumb sorting. However, I've never read a good description of its sort parameters.)
(b) Word and PageMaker (but not ATM) allow the use of fake fonts: bold, italics and bold+italics are produced by horribly deforming your base font. If you want a bold font in InDesign, use the designed one. If there isn't one designed ... the designer probably had good reasons not to make one. (It's still possible to create faux-bold and faux-italics in InDesign but the program leaves that decision to you).
(c) Smart Script sorting. InDesign groups its fonts per supported script. Latin fonts are at the top (a slightly self-centric choice), then come groups of fonts for Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, etc. etc. A font like Gisha contains Hebrew characters and thus appears in the Hebrew group.
(d) More than one font file with the same font name (internally). ID gets mightily confuzed if it encounters a file "times.ttf", font name "Times Roman", in one folder, and "tr_____.pfb", font name "Times Roman", in another folder. You can't really blaim it, though.

Message Microsoft (MSOffice).app wants to use the font "xxx". This font is not installed. Allow Microsoft(whatever).app to use this font? show in finder, don't allow, allow. happens with all Office apps, runs through entire font library.
about 3 months ago this started - not sure what I did to kick it off, but now whenever I try to use a Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 app it runs through the series of fonts and asks me to do something. I can go through one at a time and select 'don't ask me again' and 'allow' or 'don't allow' but I'd rather figure out (and solve) the problem. Any ideas?

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.

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page word document, some recipients get only one page. Also sometimes when I burn an image from iPhoto on to a disc, only part of the image appears. Why?

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page Word document by email, some recipients get only one page. Also when burning an image from iPhoto (usually no larger than 1mb) on to a disc, only part of it appears. It appears to have been magnified so that only a part of the image appears. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is happening? And how to fix it??

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.

I have just managed to save some work to an 'office 2011' file, I don't know where this has come from but my work has now vanished

Hi,
I'm really hoping that someone can help with this!
I just saved a few word documents on my macbook pro and hadn't noticed that (for some reason) the file destination to save to had changed to 'office 2011'. This isn't a file that I've created and my work is now nowhere to be seen :-(.
I've gone into my library > application > support > microsoft > office autosave but nothing is there.
HELP!
Thanks,
Danielle

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

I have a macbook pro and use MS Office 2011. In Outlook 2011, i have noticed a strange phenomenon. In some messages, although the attachment icon appears indicating presence of attachments, i am unable to actually see or access the attachments.

vivebk67,
FYI, I have the same issue. I converted from MS Office 2010 to Mac Office 2011 by importing .pst files several months ago and I have noticed that many emails, which I originally received in MS 2010 but coverted to Mac 2011, show the paperclip as if there is an attachment. But when I open the email, the attachment is not there.
At this point I cannot find any pattern as to why some converted emails retained their attachment and other emails appear to have retained their attachment but the attachment is not visible.
I can confirm that there actually is an attachment by opening up MS Office 2010, but that is a huge pain becasue I have to open Parallels to do that. I have no issues with any attachments received in Mac Office 2011.
I spent an hour opening up a ticket with MS, sent them .pst files with examples and the guy was able to confirm that he could open the attachment in MS, but not Mac. BUT, of course, I was told that I would not be apprised of any ticket updates and that the only way I would know if the issues was fixed was when I was finally able to view attachments that I was not able to view previously.
