If I have the same font installed (Arial, for example) in my System>Library>Fonts folder and in my User>Library>Fonts folder, which font does the system use? Is it safe to remove the other font? Also, is it safe to remove the foreign language fonts (asian, etc.) that are in these font folders? Thanks for any help.
