To completely remove fonts from the hard disk in Windows XP:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type %windir%\fonts, and then click OK.
3. Click the font you want to remove. To select more than one font at a time, press and hold down the CTRL key while you click each font.
4. On the File menu, click Delete.
5. When you receive the "Are you sure you want to delete these fonts?" prompt, click Yes.
To prevent a font from loading without removing it from the hard disk, move the font from the Fonts folder into another folder. Use this method for troubleshooting purposes. This process does not completely remove the font, because font registry information is not deleted. However, it prevents the font from loading.
Note: On Microsoft Windows XP, you must be an administrator to add and remove fonts.
