TTF fonts Installed Wierd Behavior

In Suse 9.2 Pro I installed many fonts from a free site so many that I slowed my machine. So I removed all but six and rebooted. Here is what is wierd the standard OOo1.1.4 still finds all the fonts. The parallel install of OOo1.1.5 does as well. Does OOo make its own copies of the fonts? Where can I find this? I only want these extra fonts for wordprocessing not to slow my machine.
