Placed in a Microsoft folder within #2 above unless the installing individual elects to do otherwise. By default, fonts installed by Office 2011 are Likewise, neither the OS X fonts nor fonts installed by other programs are added into the Microsoft folder unless the installing individual explicitly chooses to do so. In neither case do the Microsoft fonts get "mixed in" among others in the same Macintosh HD:Users: UserName :Library:Fonts.That determines in which font folder the fonts are placed.

Shame engineers are not smart enough to ask experienced users how to do things, would cause a Lot less heartache and gnashing Instead the way it should have been written, is remove all system fonts that still exist and and simply restore with new copies. So unless you pull those fonts out of the trash and reinstall them a lot of you applications will be hurting when you open them. Put system Back like it would be as if you bought computer Whether installed by other applications (including Office). What it does It is totally Deletes (throws in Trash), every font that exist on your system Hard Drive. In Font Book there is a Command to Restore system fonts. The Item your talking about you might have gotten confused about relates to Office Lion on on up. open Office installer and go to custom install.The only way I know of to restore all office fonts is: Only, but it should be sufficient to test for fonts that you the user may have installed that are crashing Office. This is not quite the same as restoring Office standard fonts
After a few weeks, I have posted a comprehensive response below of what I have learned, including an alternative short cut solution to remove user fonts without a full re-install of Office. Note that this is a different issue to using option in preferences to change the default font used in Excel or Word when you open a new document. I would like to be able to do this so I can test if the crashes and memory issues I am getting with Excel may be due to some of my user downloaded fonts causing Excel to crash. I can not find an option to do this, nor can I find a folder of fonts, or font list in the Office files, where in I can remove non standard fonts, to just leave MS Office using only its standard fonts.
Is there a way to reset Office apps (like Word or Excel) back to the Microsoft standard font set only, without having to redo a full install of the Office suite.
The later includes any fonts the user has downloaded (How to? Is it possible without re-installing Office?)ĭuring installation process for Office 2011 (Mac) I recall a choice to have Microsoft Office apps use only a standard set of Office fonts, or the users available full font set available on their Mac.
