Office for Mac Application Hangs On Splash Screen "Optimizing Font Menu Performance" Or Does Not Start

Symptoms

When you try to open a document or file for an Office for Mac application, the application's 

splash screen may appear with Optimizing font menu performance... but then the application 

closes unexpectedly or hangs.

Note: If you can launch Entourage for Mac or Outlook for Mac on your computer and when 

Word, Excel and PowerPoint are hanging on the splash screen, most likely the issue is font 

related and the steps in the article may resolve the issue.

Cause

This problem may occur if there is a damaged or an unsupported font in one of the Fonts 

folders on the computer.

When a Microsoft Office for Mac program starts, the program will try to read and to create an 

optimized list of the fonts that are available in the operating system. If the program finds a 

damaged font, the program may close unexpectedly or hang. The following conditions can 

cause this problem to occur:

• Duplicate font files.
• Corrupted Font Cache file.
• Corrupted font files and folders.

Resolution

1. Quit all Applications.

2. In Finder click Go in the top menu and choose Home.

3. Open the Library folder

4. Open the Preferences folder

5. Open the Microsoft folder

6. Locate the Office Font Cache 11 (if present), and move to the Trash

7. Open the Office 2008 Folder, and move the Office Font Cache 12 (if present) to the Trash

If you have Office 2011, follow this additional step:

8. Open the Office 2011 folder in the Microsoft folder, and move the Office Font Cache to the

Trash

9. Launch Word, this will rebuild the Office Font cache

When the problem still persists, repeat the above steps and continue with the steps below.

Clear the System font cache (Mac OS X v10.4.x and later)

In Mac OS X 10.4.x and later, safe boot disables all fonts other than those in the 

System\Library\Fonts folder, and it trashes all system font caches.

To start up in Safe Boot or Safe Mode, do the following:

1. Shut down the computer by going to the Apple menu and choosing Shut Down

2. Press the power button

3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key on the keyboard

4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (gear going around), 

during startup in Mac OS X v10.4.x or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, even if 

you normally log in automatically

5. Launch Word when you are in Safe Boot, when it launches, do nothing and go to Word in the 

top menu and choose Quit Word

To leave Safe Mode, restart the Mac normally, by going to the Apple menu and choosing 

restart, without holding any keys during startup.

Once back in Normal Mode, test the Office for Mac applications again.

Disable the Microsoft Fonts

1. Click Go in the top menu in Finder and choose Computer

2. Open the Macintosh HD

5. Drag the Microsoft Folder to the Desktop

6. Restart the Mac

7. Attempt to perform the action which previously produced the problem (launching your 

application, accessing the font menu, etc).If the problem doesn't recur, then disable 50% of the 

Microsoft fonts and compare the results with both halves, and continuing in this process for the 

half that reproduces the problem. See isolating half of the fonts in a font folder below.

2. Check for number of fonts installed in the folder: Macintosh HD/System Folder/Fonts. 

There should be NO MORE than 255 files in this folder.

3. A bad font in Classic can cause a problem with any application and even OSX itself, not just 

MS Office. OSX checks several places for fonts. One of those places is fonts in OS9, whether 

Classic is running or not.

Deactivate Font Management Utilities

1. Deactivate all font management utilities, such as Adobe Type Manager, Extensis Suitcase 

Fusion, Insider FontAgent Pro, Linotype FontExplorer X, etc.

Isolating half of the fonts in a font folder

This is a process of testing half of your data, in this case, fonts, then the other half to see which 

half contains data that is causing a problem. Once a set of fonts are found to not cause the 

problem, they can be set aside as having been tested proven as not causing the problem. Then, 

the process is repeated with the set of fonts that are demonstrating the problem, by splitting

them in half again, and so on.

1. Having disabled all fonts through one of the above methods and confirming that the issue you 

are troubleshooting no longer recurs, re-enable half of the fonts.

2. Attempt to perform the action which previously produced the problem (launching your 

application, accessing the font menu, etc). Then do one of the following:

If the problem doesn't recur, then disable these fonts by moving them into a new folder on the 

desktop named Tested Good Fonts, then re-enable the other half, and repeat step 2.If the 

problem recurs, then disable half of the currently enabled font
