re: Deleting Fonts Wednesday, January 23, 2002 at 11:39 am Posted by Paul D (827 messages posted) List of Windows 98 default fonts How to restore the Windows default fonts I have used several third-party font managers that have worked fine.

The only way I know how to send them via mail is to write the DOS names, but according to information on this site it will be difficult to install them properly without the icons. How can this be done? On Wednesday, January 23, 2002 at 11:01 am, CHolm wrote: >Excerpt from PCWorld: >To view your fonts, select Start, Run, type fonts, and press Enter.
