from my system? Plz help.

I think you can simply delete the additional fonts(i.e. except the standard ones like Arial and Times New Roman) from the Control Panel itself.....

[maverickrohan]

the only reason anyone removes fonts is to make his sytem slighty faster.....if ur system is so slow that need to come to this level to make it faster..........may the force be with u .........

Anywaz........the above soln is correct.......

Its better to backup the fonts before deleting them, then delete the backups about a month later after ensuring there are no problems...

go to windows-font folder ,back up the fonts you want to remove,then delete it. if you want to reinstall ,simple paste that font in font folder

Please Do Not Delete The "fonts" Folder Itself. If You Delete, You Will Not Be Able To Boot Into Your System.

There was a Word macro that lists all fonts installen in your system. Then you can select which ones you don't want and delete the unwanted ones. That word macro can be really helpful.

Here's the code

Sub ListFonts()

Dim f As Variant
    Documents.Add
    
    With ActiveDocument.PageSetup.TextColumns
        .SetCount (2)
        .LineBetween = True
    End With
    
    Selection.Font.Size = 14
    For Each f In FontNames
        Selection.Font.Name = f
        Selection.TypeText (f & vbLf)
    Next
End Sub
