I've spent the better part of the day trying to fix this:  in all Office
2003 applications I have installed, the font selection mechanism is "broke".
I first noticed this behaviour last week; prior to that, it was fine, and
for the life of me I can't think of a thing that has changed in my
configuration.  The drop-down list for font selection is showing an
incomplete list of fonts, eg. Arial is shown, but not Arial Narrow, though
it's listed in the Fonts folder.  In many, but not all, cases, selecting a
font will bring up another font, usually not found on the drop-down list but
found in the Fonts folder.  A few fonts (Arial, Times New Roman) work fine,
but the majority don't.

Thus far, I have:

1. Done an in-place repair of Windows XP, then applied all Updates.

2. Moved all fonts that would move out of the Fonts folder, then deleted the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts key
and created a new, empty Fonts key in the registry.  I then went to the
Fonts folder and used Install New Font to load up the XP system fonts, which
I had freshly Expanded from the XP installation disk.

The bad font behavior continues after these attempts to "clean up" the fonts
on my system.  I then tried using other non-Office applications, and they
all select and render fonts perfectly.

Any ideas on how to rectify this situation?  I guess my next tact will be to
deinstall and reinstall Office 2003 apps, unless someone has another idea...

Thanks,
A.D.
