two disabled fonts folders?

The two folders are not the same.
Fonts Disabled
Fonts_Disabled

I think there are a variety of reasons for fonts to be moved to a 'disabled' folder.
Each folder may have been created by different software, either some app you installed that may have supplied additional fonts - or a result of using some font management utility. Different developers likely will have different opinions about how those folders are named - so two disabled folders, with different names.
Are the fonts in each folder different?
 
Those folders are there because the software that needed those folders made them :D
And, they are what the name says "disabled fonts"
Some app or utility has either a standard list of fonts, or adds another copy of the same font, or is an app that has decided that some of your fonts are not going to be compatible with the app - or with the combination of fonts used by the app or utility. They may also be simply doubles of already existing fonts.... Hard to tell without comparing all the font folders....
And - the "suspect" fonts are moved to that 'Fonts Disabled' folder.
 
Both in Tiger and in Leopard -that were not updated from previous osx- those two folders exist. Of course other apps are installed in both of those configurations if thats of any help!
