Moving Certain Fonts
Feb 1, 2009
The huge number of fonts supplied with my version of Vista (don't know if they're all the same) makes for a very long list in the font box of most of my programs. In there are a WHOLE bunch of international fonts for languages I'll never need. But the system doesn't want to let me move them out of there into some other storage folder and/or delete them - it says I need permission. I looked at the security settings for those files and they are currently owned by "trusted installer". Administrators can't move or delete these files. As administrator, I can grant myself the permissions to let me move them. there is a warning message about possibly making harmful changes to the system. Is there any danger in doing this? Otherwise, any way to mask these fonts without uninstalling them?

How do you move extra fonts without deleting them? I have 600+ fonts installed. I see no option to just move the font without deleting them permanently. My HP laptop is very slow starting up and I think the installed fonts are slowing it down.

I need to install SR2 for Access 97 on Vista - Home Basic. While Access 97installs fine, there's a known problem installing SR2 on Vista. Theworkaround that I've come across involves temporarily replacing four Vistafonts (comic.ttf, comicbd.ttf, tahoma.ttf, and tahomabd.ttf) with thoseversions which come with SR2. This reportedly allows SR2 to be installed,after which the four Vista fonts are copied back to the Windows/Fontsfolder.
This procedure begins with copying those four Vista fonts to a temporaryfolder. I am unable to do this, however. If I use cntrl-c to copy andcntrl-v to paste, nothing is pasted into the temporary folder. If I right-click on the font, the Copy command is not available. If I use Edit/Copy and Edit/Paste, nothing is pasted into the temporary folder. Vista will not allow full privileges for these fonts, even though I'm signed on as Administrator.

I cannot remove a file called tahoma. I guess this is the font that Vista uses? I recently installed Left 4 Dead and later uninstalled it. There was one folder named fonts that didn't got deleted. It contained fonts like arial, verdana and tahoma. I managed to delete all of them in safe mode except tahoma.
I know that you shouldn't delete fonts that the system is using but there is something wierd because it's not in my "fonts folder" from the controlpanel. And the fonts that I deleted succefully (verdana and arial etc.) is still in that folder, tahoma is also there so that's why I'm guessing that I could delete that the tahoma font in my left 4 dead folder without it causing my system any problems.

Chris Pirillo has written a useful little reg hack that allows you to remap all of the fonts used in the Explorer interface to the new Segoe UI font. Make sure you make a backup of your registry before trying this one! ...

Does anyone know when/why MS gave us a bunch of fonts such as "Batang & BatangChe & Gungsuh & GungsuhChe" and "Microsoft YaHei?" There are many more of these strange looking font names in my fonts folder and each font takes up > 15,000,000 bytes. I tried to delete 1 or 2 of them but that's a no can do. Was there a specific "hotfix" we applied and what is/are the reason(s) for these fonts?

I have tried to uninstall fonts as administrator (no one else uses my computer and I have an admin. acct) with the UAC both off on on. I need permission. Try again. and again and again? I particularly want to get rid of all the annoying fonts that begin with @ to get them to the top of the list in Wordperfect X3.

I have Vaio Z (1600x900 screen res) and Bravia LCD (1366x768 screen res). I have connected them via HDMI cable (dual screen mode) and it's working "fine".
However, when I view my Explorer/Firefox/Word.. on TV screen (using TV screen instead of laptop) fonts are jerky and hard to read. In Firefox fonts are jerky as well, however images are totally ok, also smiley icons in this forum are perfect .
But everything related to text is messed up/blurry/difficult to read.
I have tried following: in nVidia control panel set TV res to "native" 1366x768 but no changes.
Any idea how to resolve this issue?
EDIT: just occurred to me, as my laptop and TV native resolutions are not the same, should I lower laptop resolution prior connection to LCD?

Will some kind person advise on how to remove fonts from the file in Vista Home? I am running Office 2003 on my laptop, and the Fonts file has MANY fonts installed, the vast number of which I do not want. Simple things in life are generally best. In XP I could simply click on any font, check to see if it was required, then delete, keeping the numbers down to a select few. Now in Vista, I am informed that it is not allowed to remove most of the fonts in the file for some unknown.

The Fonts on my vista install seem to be larger than they should be. When I open dialog boxes the text extend past the edge of the window and gets cut off. The DPI is set to default but the setting also has a strike through it. (see image), also notice the text extending the form. If i change the setting to 120 dpi there is a noticeable difference. I've looked everywhere and can't find anything on this!

I downloaded some new Mac fonts and I want to change the default font in Vista to one of them. I can't do that via Appearance>Advanced, because there's a limited variety of fonts to choose from.

Does anyone know how I could hide the various, non-deleteable foreign language fonts so they won't show up in my drop-down fonts lists? scrolling through all these useless fonts takes a lot of time, and I'll never use them. I tried to delete them, even when logged in as owner and administrator, taking ownership, etc., but have found no solution myself after trying all the solutions that were posted on this forum.

have a new problem with my reliable WP X3 for Windows. The display shows a much smaller font than I’m using. For instance, I generally use Times New Roman 12, but it shows up in the display about like a #8 font used to. When I print it out, the font is the size that it should be. (I changed to Arial 12 here)The type of font does'nt seem to make much difference. When I used Arial 12 it shows up a little larger, but not much. I have Windows Vista Home Basic Service Pack 2. Is there a fix for this problem, short of up grading to a modern version of WP?

When I opened my text, the fonts were colored red and there was a strikethrough on every line. I was able to see how it could be done in the fonts section, but I don't remember doing it. I need to know how to undo it.

My new computer has Vista 64 bit and Windows mail. I often get emails with text followed by attached photos. I print only the selection of text. It is printing too tiny to read. I remember the way to fix that in XP and IE7 by changing a % in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMAINFeatureControlFEATURE_STF_Scale_Min but don't know if that is safe to try in Vista 64 or if it will work. Has anyone had the tiny font problem (when in email with photos) and been able to fix it? If not, can I uninstall IE8 and will the machine revert to IE 7? I don't even know if that works as I haven't had this computer more than a few days.

At some point in the far distant past I was playing around with fonts sizes and dpi settings to optimise the display for my father. I have done something that causes the shutdown options icon (the blue arrow point on the start menu bar) to be "chopped off" so to speak and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to resize it. The attached screenshot explains it more clearly.

I'm having some trouble with my desktop and web browser fonts. See how the letters are misshapen, most noticeably the 6. My desktop fonts are also too bold when I boot up, which I can fix by changing the theme (every time I boot up) this fixes all the windows fonts but web browsing stays in this annoying misshapen style which makes reading hard with certain fonts and sizes and colored backrounds online.

when you write a new message in Windows Mail - by default it starts with Arial fonts. Can you change this default to your own particular liking and save it, so when you start a new message,it starts with your choice automatically?
