That would be rather unfortunate, I'm afraid. What with the change to
Unicode in Word, lots of the Microsoft fonts have been upgraded. They have
the same names as before, and as other fonts in your computer, but they're
different versions. In particular the four Unicode fonts - Times New Roman,
Trebuchet MS, Verdana and an Asian font - MS Mincho, I think - are
completely different and mach bigger than before : they have all the Unicode
glyphs. They will substitute for any fonts where such Unicode glyphs are
needed. Dump them at your peril.

Naturally Word needs fonts, and the correct place is in your user Fonts
folder. It's best just to leave things be. modern computers have immense
hard disks and the space taken up by the "clutter" of fonts is well worth
it. I'm sure there's a way to get them to work with Suitcase too.
