This is weird . . .

I did not see "tuffy" in the font list within LibreOffice till I looked 
into the usr/share/fonts/truetype and /opentype. I never knew I had some 
of these fonts till I looked.  There are some of these fonts that were 
in my ".font" folder and also in the "usr/share/. . ." folder.  Most of 
the ".font" folder fonts are not in the "usr/share/ . ." list.

The real question is  - how safe would it be to removed fonts in the 
"user/share/fonts/truetype" or "/opentype"? What would be the safest to 
do the add/remove using Ubuntu MATE 16.04?

I have added and removed fonts in the ".font" folder, sometime on a 
daily or weekly basis. I tend to have 300 to 500 ".ttf" and/or ".otf" 
files in the ".font" folder.  I tend to add special fonts into that 
folder as needed for a project.
