Wrote in message news:caR9absDaxw. Hi Stephen; No disrespect intended, but I believe you may be misinterpreting what the article is saying. The actions taken actually help *avoid* font issues by relocating only those fonts for which newer, more complete versions are being installed. Those versions are older, out of date & can eventually cause problems regardless of whether Office is ever installed, but the installation is replacing them with newer, more robust versions of the same font. The fact that you had only the one font relocated should actually be rather comforting:-) Also, there's nothing in OS X that 'automagically' manages fonts -- if there were, most of what Office moves wouldn't be there in the first place. The OS permits anyone & any program to install whatever fonts they want - including variations on the same ones. OS X does include the Font Book utility application but it's up to the user to run it as they see fit.

Unfortuantely, most users don't even know of its existance, let alone how to use it. Second only to graphics I believe fonts & font management is the least understood aspect of general computer usage. As a result, many users create their own problems by grabbing fonts from anywhere they can obtain them [free] in addition to those installed by many of the apps they buy/try/beg/borrow/steal. Not going off on that tangent, however, the point is that most of those sources *do not* do the 'housekeeping' service that Office provides, so the system winds up with as many as half a dozen different variations of the same font. Conflict is inevitable. Also, the alternative to not install the new fonts is offered as an *option*, not as advice or recommendation.
