Lucida Grande Problem?

I use MS Entourage for my mail but the menu bar of entourage is un readeable caused by the lucida grande font. I've switched off the font from font book the problem resolved.However. all my finder menu and other menus went blank. I tried "silk" to replace MS entourage luicda grande font but did not work. I have 4 fonts under lucida grande folder:
* Lucida Grande Bold - TrueType version 5.0d8e1 Locked
* Lucida Grande Bold - TrueType version 4.0d21
* Lucida Grande Regular- TrueType version 4.0d21
* Lucida Grande Regular- TrueType version 5.0d8e1 Locked
Dont want to mass up my sytem by trying to replace these fonts before getting a second opinion. Any suggestsions????
Thx

The only Lucida Grande you should be using is the one that's required for use by the operating system, located in /System/Library/Fonts

Getting rid of all others should resolve any issues.

Thnx for the rply
Unfortunately, when I remove the LC grande font located in libary/fonts/lucida grande, all my pulldown menus go blank... Under /System/Library/Fonts there is only Lucida grande dfont, which is a datafork, that system does not allow me to remove. MS entourage menus are still unreadable jibrish looks like "æW†çæd^∆^R¥´∂ğ"
I m affraid If I cant solve the problem I have to learn this new MS entourage language...:)

Many T^ğ^∆ü¥xs :::)
