Deleting Fonts

Excerpt from PCWorld:
To view your fonts, select Start, Run, type fonts, and press Enter. To see what a
font looks like, double-click its icon. You can delete a font by right-clicking it
and selecting Delete, but it's safer to uninstall it by dragging it to another folder
or drive--so you can always drag it back. You must do this dragging (in either direction)
from within Windows Explorer. Moving or copying a font to or from the C:\Windows\Fonts
folder via DOS commands or a third-party file management utility won't properly install
or uninstall it.
Some fonts should stay put--notably Windows system fonts, which have the extension
.fon instead of .ttf. The icon for a system font has a red 'A' rather than a gray-blue
'TT'. System fonts are usually hidden files, but they're visible in the Fonts folder
in Explorer. They disappear when you move them elsewhere, though. Some applications
require specific fonts, such as Arial or Times New Roman, so you'd better keep them
around.
