Unwanted System Fonts

Post by sfdeejay »

Please forgive if this has already been discussed, but there is a lot of buzz on the web about Windows 8.1 unwanted fonts, specifically, the lack of a way to easily delete them. I don't mean the generic fonts, but the many foreign language fonts that many of us would never use - just taking up space. I would happily purchase another copy of MainType (already licensed FontCreator and MainType many years ago), if it would make this task easier. I would welcome comments/solutions.

I'm not familiar with these issues, so I suggest you give MainType a try and let us know your results.

Thanks, Erwin. Hopefully, the trial download won't be crippled and I can report back whether MainType works for deleting these unwanted fonts.

MainType initially runs as a free edition which is fully functional, but has fewer features than the standard and premium editions.

You can see the differences in the MainType Comparison Chart.
