Where is the Fonts (Removed) folder?

In Font Book, I clicked on File > Restore Standard System Fonts. A popup window told me:

'Fonts not included in the Mac OS X system install will be placed in a "Fonts (Removed)" folder next to the Fonts folder.'

I had over 700 fonts installed, and Font Book cut my user fonts down to 200+. But I can't find the Fonts (Removed) folder to reinstall the fonts I need. Where is it? The fonts it cut didn't go into Trash, so they're somewhere...

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 2006 24 inch white iMac

Hello GMKerwin,

The folder should be on :

• Your hard disk/Library/

or

• Your username folder/Library (if you can't access that one; open a Finder window and click the Go menu. Then press and hold Option. You’ll see a new entry temporarily appear for the Library folder, which will disappear when you release Option).
