Hello,In the system are foreign language fonts I want to remove / delete.The system is basically English, and added only Hebrew language.I tried to delete some fonts through the control panel, but I get a "System protected...." and cannot delete it. Some time ago I set these fonts to "Hide", but they still appear in any window where there is to select a font.Is there some way to do it, I do not want to mess with the registry.Answers will be appreciated.Thanks

Deleting non-Latin fonts in Windows 10 Home


Thanks for the suggestion, but, sadly, it does not. In addition, I have gone to the Font Management setting and followed Microsoft's directions explicitly. Win 10 will NOT let me delete any installed font (except ones that I have installed myself), and it will NOT let me hide any font at all. The 'Hide' setting says it will hide the font from applications, but EVERY application that offers a choice of fonts, whether from Microsoft (Office, Word, Wordpad, Notepad, etc.) or third parties (such as OpenOffice) shows ALL the fonts listed in the Font Management listing. Every. Single. One.

There was a script for removing the non-Latin fonts from Win 7 that automated the process. That script does not work in Win 10. Is there one that does?

Thanks in advance for any help/
