[comp.windows.ms] Word for Windows font difficulties

I have an interesting one:

In Word for Windows, the Ribbon (the part with the font stuff) does not seem
able to put the list of fonts into that little box you select them from on
the ribbon. The font sizes also do not show up.

They DO show up in Write, though, so I don't think it is Windows itself.
Also, I can manually type in the font name and size and it will find what
I ask for and format the text properly. The ONLY malfunction seems to be that
it won't go get the list of fonts and display them for me from either the
Ribbon or from Format Character menu item.

When I first installed Word, it worked just fine. I installed a bunch of new
fonts not long ago & it quit. I've played with the fonts and I've reinstalled
Word. No avail.

Any suggestions, anyone?

I've noticed similiar problems, but occasionally having to do with the
actual size of the font.  I.e., 14 point vs 16 point in the same font.
