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
