I'm not suggesting "bad" in the sense of malformed files. I'm only
suggesting that they might lead to a manifestation of the problem, not that
they are the primary cause. The fonts themselves could be perfectly good,
but could simply precipitate a bug that can be avoided by removing fonts.
Font problems may be hard to pin to a specific malformed font. For
example, some versions of Java on Mac OS X would misbehave if there were
certain duplicate fonts in the user's Fonts folder. The fonts themselves
were apparently OK. Something just objected to the duplication of a font's
name, or couldn't figure out the override.

Hard to say. I've seen it go both ways. And I've seen it fail simply from
the number of fonts present, not anything related to a bad font or a
duplicated font or anything else discernible.
