Remove Japanese fonts

Post by agibsonsw »

Hello.

I wanted to delete some large foreign fonts from my computer. Specifically Meiryo and MS Mincho,which I believe are Japanese fonts. I don't speak or type in Japanese.

However, I received a font related error message when opening Word 2007. Why would this be and is there some way I could safely delete these redundant fonts?

Andy.

You should not remove these fonts, MS Office needs them (don't ask me why). And though they may be large fonts, their size is insignificant compared to hard disk size.
Best wishes,
Hans
