I notice that Illustrator 13 has Myriad (Type 1) embedded in the application 
package. I still have Illustrator 12 installed and it requires Myriad to be 
present in Application Support>Adobe. 

As I've been taught that it's bad practice to have duplicate fonts active, 
should Myriad be removed from Application Support?

Michael,

Delete/remove any duplicately named versions of your fonts elsewhere on your system.

Thanks Neil.

I'm just a little worried that, if I remove Myriad (Type 1) from 
Library>Application Support>Adobe>Fonts>Reqrd>Base, some of my older Adobe 
applications (Illustrator 12 and InDesign CS) may misbehave - assuming, that 
is, that 'Reqrd' means 'Required'.

I think...at least I hope...Neil meant anywhere but the required folder. 
Just leave that one alone.

Yep. That's what I meant by "elsewhere on your system."

Bob is good at interpreting. He can even read his doctor's handwriting.

So does that mean that Illustrator 13 doesn't load fonts from 
Library>Application Support>Adobe>Fonts>Reqrd>Base? If it did it would be 
using two copies of Myriad - the 'Reqrd' copy and the copy in the application 
package.
