Font problems in Word and Excel after Mavericks upgrade

31. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
Hi, Since upgrading to 10.9 Mavericks both Excel and Word (office for Mac 2011) are failing to show data in documents.  I believe this is a font problem and i had exactly the same experience when i upgraded Mac OS last time.  

I have seen a thread on this today, and followed the suggestions therein.  namely to Open the Font Book application, Select all fonts, Validate, I then removed the fonts that were labelled as not working, to no avail.  I then tried the SAFE BOOT and this succeeded and both Excel and Word were back to normal.  

However 20 minutes later, after closing and opening Excel and Word again, I am back to square one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Please fix the font problem! I’ll have to go to another email, there’s no way anyone can read their mail!

The font changed to a smaller size when Hotmail changed the "look" of the entire site. But the biggest problem happened today when in the middle of an email I was composing, the font suddenly became microscopic & I can't find a way to read anything or change it.
What is going on? Things were fine before somebody " improved" the site. Hopefully it will be fixed by the time I'm notified that there's a response, otherwise I'll never be able to read that someone actually responded.
