Uninstall fonts

I tried to uninstall fonts explained the way. I click on the police - click on delete - and nothing happens.  I have Vista and a Dell computer. I get a message saying that I have more than 500 installed fonts and it might not work properly. If ICAN t uninstall fonts, how can I get rid of the message?

Hello
 
Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers.
 
If you have installed the fonts through a package and then try to remove the package from programs and features in Control Panel.
You can also delete or uninstall fonts from the folder C:\windows\fonts
 
It will be useful.

  • Can not remove fonts - application for leave to administrator in Windows Vista

    Original title: why did Windows not recognize me as an admin even if I am the only user and 'Administrator' is even named right after my name?

    I'm having this problem on this Vista laptop that I am now on and on my desktop which has been upgraded to Windows 7.

    In the particular case on this laptop, I'm trying to reduce my list of fonts to eliminate those I do not need or use.  I selects a font to delete, press DELETE, it says that windows needs the permission to delete this, I give permission.  Then he said that I need permission and that it only gives options of "Try Again" or "Cancel".  I have this problem with all types of files and I'm really tired of this garbage.  Help, please.


    Hello

    ·        What do you mean by all types of files? What are the other files are you trying to delete, they are system files?

    A font is a system file and to delete a system file, you must disable the UAC (user account control) and check if you are able to delete the file on the system. Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

    Note: Turn on UAC, once you did delete the files.

    Enable or disable the User Account Control

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-user-account-control-on-or-off

    For more information, see the article mentioned below.

    How can I change the behavior of user account control by using Group Policy?

  • Fonts from the far East on Vista

    Recently, my hard drive had been decimated by a virus.  I had to replace and re-installed Vista.  I live in Korea and I have Hangul (Korean alphabet) on my computer.  As I came back, I can't the far East fonts on my computer; they are no longer available in my language tag.  I have my language bar upward and I can click back and forth between English and Korean, but in fact type in Hangul isn't even an option.  When I look at the download of far East fonts on any Microsoft website, it seems that the only options are downloading fonts to Word or other programs, but not for the full operating system.

    Man in the shop told me that the second disc of my re-boot Vista did not, perhaps that is the reason?  I can't understand why it worked the virus before, but not now.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi hippiemouse,

    Where are you trying to type in Hangul fonts?

    It seems that the fonts are not installed. You will have to perhaps download and install fonts on your system.

    You can see the following link for more information on installing fonts:

  • I have serious problems with default MS without serif fonts must be installed in my system, but do not seem to be more after a deletion and a reinstallation of my system.

    Currently, my computer is not allowing me to view by default without properly, serif fonts well that seem be properly installed in my system fonts folder. When I get an email from someone who uses the "sans-serif" as their type of font, or when I go on a site like Wikipedia, for example, which uses the police without serif, my default system, a font of script which does not allow to read all the content. I can't find a problem with the fonts, except that I'm missing some other files of fonts. Where can I download the fonts so that I need, so I can ensure that they are properly installed? It is a feat, but it is infuriating and a waste of time when there should be a simple solution to this.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi GraphicJack,

    First of all, let us try to uninstall fonts, reinstall it and see if the problem still occurs.

    You may need to use a third-party Web site to download the font.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/install-or-uninstall-fonts

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-font-problems

    Secondly, if the problem persists, you will need to make some changes to the registry.

    In the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes.

    There is a "MS Sans Serif, 0" entry with a value of 'MS Sans Serif, 177'

    So this must be a mapping of fonts or substitute for MS Sans Serif. I would like to know what means the '0' in MS Sans Serif, 0 string. Delete the entry, and then restart the computer.

  • Download of fonts with Vista

    I downloaded the fonts using Win 2000 without problem.  Friends have had no problem with Win XP.  So far I've failed with Vista.  It goes through the same steps, same menus pop up to "extract files" but it doesn't happen.  When you try to drag and drop an error message appears that the format is not valid.
    Is this a compatibility issue?

    What is the procedure that you follow?
