All Office apps freeze when changing fonts

We are using win2k. All of a sudden, Word, Excel, all of them, started freezing everytime we tried to change the font, font size, or print. Basically any editing caused an office lockup. And sometimes, an office app won't load past the splash screen. It just hangs there, waiting for me to 'End Task' it. I've thought about dumping the font files (except for system fonts) and trying that, but then there wouldn't be many choices. My first thought was that a user downloaded a corrupted font at multiple machines (they don't have assigned seating). I just can't figure this one out. Thanks for the help.
