You cannot reliable work with both fonts if they are installed at the
same time.  You may think you are picking the TrueType or Type 1
version of the font, but the one which is used can change
unpredictably.

Goodness me, no!  Certainly Acrobat will break if you touch its font
folder.  Distiller does NOT use ATM to find fonts.

My view is that if an application puts fonts in a special location, it
is asking for trouble to go tidying up.
