rvalkass 5 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 Well I would advise against clearing the fonts folder and starting again, as a lot of programs install their own fonts to use within the application. If you delete the font, the program won't run, or if it does it will look weird.If you are using Windows XP and you have system restore enabled then you could try going backa few restore points to before the time you installed the fonts, but I am not sure if system restore will actually touch the fonts.

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 what I suggest is that you do a system restore to right before you installed the font. I had to do that when i installed 5000 fonts, my photoshop crash so instead of deleting them all like that I just did a quick system restore and i was back to where I was.but problem on hand you have to make sure adobe is closed down before install new one's. But other then that fonts are universal in most programs so you shouldn't be a problem with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kioku 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 In speaking of clearing out fonts, I usually delete a load of un-necessary fonts from my hard drive since it clears up alot of space. I seriously doubt I need that many, especiallyu since I never use half of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
