Removed alien5.ttf font but it remains

It's stuck on my computer! I pulled up all arial fonts and checked them, and they display correctly when I select them, however this font won't go away! Everything I type in my browsers, browser results, and all of g-mail have this awful font that I can't get rid of. I'm going to try to update my computer, but I can't get rid of it in any default settings.

I uninstalled/reinstalled chrome, and reset it.

Font Book permanently not responding As soon as Font Book is launched the spinning wheel appears which won't allow me to interact with anything - including the toolbar so I cannot restore standard fonts or delete anything through Font Book. I've tried deleting all fonts through Users/Library/Font and Font Collections (I can't delete the folders so just the contents) and nothing changed. I've tried searching anything with a font file ext (.ttf, .otf etc) and deleting all files. I've tried the Safe Boot restart trick to clear the cache but that also hasn't worked. When I launch Font Book it still says I have 339 fonts which means the fonts are still on my computer somewhere. This is really inconvenient for me as I work as a graphic designer and this prevents me from being able to download new fonts ( or use the ones I've now deleted). Please help!!!

the bad font was found here on fonts2u.com Alien League font
DO NOT INSTALL! Font book gives an error message saying it can't be installed, then it just appeared on all of my browsers.

Arial font is displaying as Alien League, but only in my font book. Not on system files.
