  1. Font Settings App Crashes After Uninstalling Fonts


    As the subject clearly states, after uninstalling a single font, usually, the font settings app crashes immediately. Sometimes I can uninstall two to three, but 99% of the time it's just the one before crashing.


    I first went to this discussion; https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-10-1909-settings-app-crashes-every-time-i/7cc273df-62b9-48ad-ba8f-d2070c519e47, only to find out that it's already closed, with no firm answers or fixes about this problem, so I'm not the only one.


    I'm trying to uninstall an entire family of 23 fonts so I can reactivate them on Adobe Creative Cloud since the regular font's currently not recognized by Adobe, because apparently, it's already installed. I tried doing this with just the singular font and it wouldn't adjust to recognize that the regular font is installed still.


    Gotta say, this is a problem.

    :)

    Open font settings by clicking on start, click on control panel, and then click on appearance and personalization, under fonts click on change font settings. And select the font size.

    Step 2:

    If you’re trying to change windows font size then please follow the steps below:

    How to uninstall a COMPLETE set of fonts using the new "Settings/Fonts" control panel

    Thanks for the quick and comprehensive reply. Unfortunately, you failed to answer my question.

    I already know how to uninstall fonts on-at-a-time (you outlined the steps above... and that's what I was already aware of). I want to know if there is a method to
    uninstall a group of fonts all at once (called a complete font family or font set). Think of it as if I wanted to select several fonts and then click "uninstall", thus removing them all at once.

    Please know that I am not angry... I am only attempting to state the situation clearly. Font management is crucial to the modern user (designer or not). Computers should make menial tasks easier, not harder.

    So let me start again with a better explanation. As a test, I would suggest that you (or some of your team members) simply install a set of fonts. Let's use the Google font set "Roboto" for this test. It is free to download and install, and they are NOT
    system fonts, so no worries there (I will assume that you don't need instructions on how to download Google fonts, but let me know if that's required). You will notice that the Roboto Font Family contains 12 fonts, listed as such:

    thin 100

    thin 100 Italic

    light 300

    light 300 Italic

    regular 400

    regular 400 Italic

    medium 500

    medium 500 Italic

    bold 700

    bold 700 Italic

    black 900

    black 900 Italic

    You will notice that you have probably just selected all twelve font files and "Right-clicked" to select "Install", which
    installs all 12 fonts with a single mouse action. Quick and easy, right?

    Now, check to see that the fonts are installed and working within your system. Try using the font in PPT or WORD if you need to confirm this.

    Lastly, I want you to go back into FONT SETTINGS and remove the whole font family all at once. Can this be done with a single mouse-click action after selecting the set of fonts (ie: "uninstall fonts?"). Note that I have used the plural "fonts",
    meaning more than one.


    If you can do this, please show me the steps required.

    If you are unable to do this, and do not know how to do this within Windows 10, please acknowledge that this feature is missing and that the MS team will be working on a patch to fix this soon.

    Regarding you comment that some fonts are possibly "hidden":

    Can you tell me how to "unhide them"? I see no button or menu within "Settings\Fonts" or "C:\Windows\fonts" that lets me choose to "Show hidden files".

    Thanks again. Hoping to help.

    Tom
