Unable to get rid of "active" fonts

Hi Erwin
Related to this old problem but I didn't see a solution
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3975&p=17378&hilit ... all#p17378
I have two fonts (families) which I can't get rid of from the Active area, no matter what I do - there is no option to remove/delete the fonts. I have done a FULL uninstall - removing all databases etc - using even Revo Pro then reinstalling. I know the fonts are fine (Basic Sans and Register) because I always use them. Now, even when I try to reinstall the fonts Main Type says I am installing the font, but it just adds another instance with a red dot. I did something wrong - I forget what - for the fonts to have have gained the red dot for an "unknown font".
Incidentally, I have a few other font programs, some very basic ones don't show the fonts as installed. I have Printer's Apprentice, which also shows these fonts in the Active folder and "unknown" and I likewise have no option to delete them.
Any suggestion? Something I can delete in the registry??
Any help will be appreciated as these are two of my favourite fonts!
Regards
Robin
