[Casper] font issue..

[John McLaughlin]

I am using MS Office 2004.  I'd prefer not to delete the font all together
from it's parent location.  Especially, if the user is not receiving this
specialized application.  I'd like to have a policy or some other
mechanism delete the user's font from ~/Library/Fonts when this
application runs.  Are there any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

Correction:

Office 2008 installs fonts into /Library/Fonts/Microsoft.

What version of Word? Office 2004 installs fonts at first run into
~/Library/Fonts but Office 2008 installs fonts into /Library/Microsoft
during installation of the suite.

With Office 2004, you can simply delete the fonts from
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Fonts (I believe this is the
corr ect location). This is where they come from at first run.

With Office 2008 you can opt not to install fonts at all.

Hi,
        I'm having an issue where an application rejects a specific font
that's installed once a user runs MS Word.  I need to be able to delete
that font of the user's once they run MS Word but I can't figure out how
to do this.  I was hoing to avoid using launch agents.  Does anyone know
how to handle this?
