<<Font distortion (letters run together)? Disable Microsoft fonts If you're having problems with font distortion in various applications after installing Office 2008, try temporarily removing the Microsoft fonts folder from /Library/Fonts and restarting. This may alleviate the issue.

Who knows what else Microsoft is trying to do to all the poor innocent Macs out there, messing up with their system at the most basic level?
I haven't had a problem yet, though I only installed Office '08 yesterday. Is your sig Klingon? It reminds me of it.
