If you're on a Mac, and have installed MS Office 2011, you may get
problems with fonts.  It seems that microsoft have decided to change
some of the system fonts with their own versions - look in
/Library/Fonts and you will see that some of the font files (eg Arial,
Times, Verdana, Wingdings) are now links to the MS Fonts. MS moved the
originals to /Library/Fonts\ Disabled/) but the links from your wine
prefix fonts to these are now broken.

To fix, you need to recreate the links in the Windows\Fonts directory.
Easiest is just to delete the font files (aliases) in there and create
new shortcuts from the /Library/Fonts folder.

If you are on a Mac, you can get Office 2011 for the Mac.  Why do you
need/want/desire the Windows one?
He *is* talking about Office 2011 for the Mac. There is no Office 2011
for Windows.

Thank you.  I'll keep this in mind when we install it later this week.
