Font/DA Mover 3.2 does this too, and it's always been a problem, since
it doesn't tell you that there was a conflict.  I guess Apple chose what it
believed to be the lesser of 2 evils (the greater being not allowing you to
install certain combinations of fonts in the same System).  Still, I think it
would be better if it put up some sort of alert and at least gave you the
option of changing font IDs or aborting the operation.
