It's been over 4 months now and the "contortions" continue: Every time I open any Word document (irrespective of font, although my default font is Verdana), Word immediately starts — seemingly — looking to correct something with respect to the Lucida Grande font (all sizes), generating several thousand lines of description in Console, and apparently finding nothing and repairing nothing. The process doesn't seem to alter the functionality of Word.
So I just thought I'd revisit the issue here to see if anyone might have more intelligence on the matter.
