You can't have two fonts with the same internal name(s) installed or 
open at the same time, regardless of their format. In simple terms, if 
you open a font named Myfont, the system KNOWS that it's already open, 
  and will use that cached copy for any future references or requests 
for Myfont.

[speculation] If you've installed duplicates, the one that's found 
first in the registry is the one that will be used.

It's also possible that the system will get confused, using the 
metrics from one font and applying them to the other.
