Jagged font in Word 2003

There isn't a discrepancy. Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Galliard show
up in the program and in the control panel fonts area.

Does the font problem occur in other non word related application programs?
IF not, word uses a default template that may be the culprit. (Normal.dot)
Try renaming normal.dot to oldnormal.bak or some other name. Word will
recreate it on the next startup and revert to default behavior.

There are also some settings for word (I don't know where they are in 2003)
that were intended for use on a limited resolution display.
I'm not sure if they even show up in a user accessable menu or dropdown
option.
(Last time I fooled with them was word 95 or 98.)

It's also possible that a font substitution is taking place, usually due to
a bad or missing font.
