Apr 16, 2018 If you are using third-party fonts, Word for Mac might experience problems with the font that you have installed. For more information, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article: 295062 Third-party installed font does not appear in the font list in Word for Mac.

Nice tip.
However, the syntax used in this hist is incorrect. '/Users/~/Library/Fonts' is redundant. '~/Library/Fonts' is the correct format. '~' stands for '/Users/<username>', not just '<username>', so there is no need to prepend '/Users/' before the tilde character. (In fact, doing so will not work at all. Terminal will just complain that /Users/~ does not exist if you try.) The text of this hint should be updated to fix this error.
Thanks! I must be going blind in my old age.

Is this the same mechanism used by FontBook to disable fonts?
Apparently not. I disabled Marker Felt via FontBook, quit FontBook and re-opened it to verify that it was still disabled. Right-clicking on Market Felt and choosing 'Reveal In Finder...' shows that it was still in the Fonts folder, not Fonts Disabled.
So, I'd assume that the Fonts Disabled folder is the place to banish fonts that are totally unacceptable for use. But, as this hint shows, sometimes some perfectly valid fonts end up there, for whatever reason.

I don't think that upgrading to Snow Leopard creates a 'Fonts disabled' folder. However, when you install Office 2008, it creates a folder of that name and moves fonts installed from earlier versions of Office there.

Early versions of 10.6 could give problems if duplicate fonts were unresolved in FontBook.
