Just wondering if it's safe to remove all the fonts Office installed without my permission. Don't want to break anything.

Gotcha.

Well, I suppose you can just remove the "Fonts" from the folder and see how Office:2004 runs and if everything goes smoothly...then delete them...

But now the forums are displaying with different fonts. Are there other fonts in ~/Library/Fonts that I shouldn't have gotten rid of?
