When I open Word it gives me warnings for corrupt fonts which takes hours to hit "okay" to each one. When I go into the Font Book they are not listed. However, in the HD, I did search for font and found multiple font folders - one with 1,430 items which says it is located at Users/AWDBT/Library, one with 285 items which is located in Library, one with 36 items which is located in System/Library, one with 5 items, Word Fonts (which the corrupt fonts aren't in there either), the Font Book (which they are not in either), and some additional font folders. Is there a way to validate those fonts? Again, this is a work Mac, so I don't know who put all these fonts on it, but obviously 100s are corrupt when I open Word.
