Huh. I do not see a problem with Baskerville here, nor Book Antiqua,
Verdana, Arial, Palatino, though 12.1 vs. 12.0.1 could be the issue.
I suspect that it is possible for font designers to build leading into a
font, which could cause this, but presumably you and I have the same
versions of the fonts installed, so I shouldn't think that's it. You
might use Font Book to Validate some of these fonts and see if any are
re****ted corrupted, or check for duplicates and make sure old versions
are disabled---Word 2008 installed updated versions of many of these
fonts, I think. Corrupted fonts would make sense with 2008 and 2004
showing the same problem.
Diagnostic tricks to help locate the cause of the problem:
1) Log out of your user account, then hold down ****ft while logging back
in. If the problem disappears, it is probably due to some conflict with
the login items/utilities in your user account.
2) create a new user account in OS X and test in that one. If the
problem disappears, then the installation is fine but some user-specific
file has corrupted.

Baskerville, and they all had it happen at 16 point.

work. Otherwise, it shows single and if I change it to double, for example,
nothing changes, not even the icon.
