Avoid font display issues when installing Office 2008

Immediately after installing Office, go to Font Book (or whatever font manager you're using) and eliminate conflicting fonts. Microsoft installs a bunch of fonts, many of which probably conflict with fonts you've already got. These conflicts can cause all sorts of display problems!
