This is an interesting development! I just moved (yes moved) the first of
each dupe over into the temporary folder. When I double clicked to open
each font there was no information in there--just blank except for the name.
I went back to Windows fonts folder and was unable to open those that were
left in there. My conclusion is that I need to move all those back to
Windows fonts even though they appear to be duplicates. They apparently
need each other to be functional. Do you have any idea why???
