Every time there's an OS update, I am haunted by the Word Font Cache problem. For those who don't know, on booting up Word it says "Font XXX is corrupted and must be removed". It says this for loads of fonts, all of which are fine.
The usual solution - recommended by Microsoft, who recognise there's an issue - is to trash the Office Font Cache file (found in Users/Library/Preferences/Microsoft), resolve duplicate fonts using Font Book, then restart. Then all is well.
But ever since 10.4.10, that won't work. If I trash the Office Cache, and nuke all the System Caches (with FontNuke), then on rebooting I can open Word fine. But if I shutdown and restart, then Word goes back to its old habits.
I have removed (ie more than resolved) all duplicate fonts using Font Book, and thought that would sort things. But it hasn't.
Can anyone either
a) tell me what to do to sort this once and for all and/or
b) help me write a script that would trash the Office Font Cache file on shutdown.
