Windows 10: Font that is supposed to be deleted is still on Windows

I was tinkering around with fonts to add a symbol to it, and then decided to start over and go back to the original font. I uninstalled the fonts through the regular font menu in Windows settings.However, this font still appears on my computer, even though it does not appear in the Fonts folder nor in the settings of Windows. Attempting to install the original font does not work, even under a new name/filename.How do I delete this "ghost font"?

Hello,

I found these steps in this forum from back in 2010:

Step 1:

I would suggest you to try these steps and check whether it helps in fixing your issue.

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:

To change Windows fonts

1. Open Appearance Settings by clicking the Start button and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type window color, and then click Change window colors and
metrics.

2. In the Item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list. Then, make any of the following changes:

· In the Font list, click the font that you want to use.

· In the Size list, click the font size that you want.

· In the Color list, click the font color that you want.

3. Repeat these steps for each item that you want to make changes to, and then click OK.

Does that help?

 

Some web pages not displaying fonts correctly: at a loss here  

For me this works:

Step 1: Run Command Prompt as administrator.

Step 2: Type C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf and press Enter.


Then I get the install option (no longer greyed out)

 

Deleting fonts in Windows 10

Hi,

I'm unable to delete fonts in Windows 7, I know that I'm supposed to be able to, however when I try it tells me the font is in use and can't be deleted. I've tried all of the suggestions available across the web with no success.

Have they fixed this bug in Windows 10? I'm undecided about upgrading and this might push me over the edge

Thanks for your help!!
