What about having multiple, slightly different, copies of, say, the
"times" font from different packages. I've run into this several times.
For an example see 75dpi vs 100dpi directories, a contrived example I
admit, but one everyone has. I really think keeping font packages
separate is a good idea because eventually you'll run into a collision.
Just my 2 Cents :)
