no need all fonts,can delete some?

Greetings
Well ,I've come to terms with win 7(old XP user).In xp I could take out most any font, to make room for others that I would use more often.getting rid of some fonts that looked so much like another.In win 7 I go to 'fonts' in control panel. when I try to delete them, get message that "they are system fonts" canot delete.Is there some way to get around this?

Is your hard drive really that small that you need to delete system fonts?

I don't know of a way around it but I'd highly suggest not trying to delete system files!

other programs

Have plenty of hard drive,and then some.just that other programs I use for graphics use windows font base.And it loads up abunch of fonts that all look the same.even though they where mean for other langues.

I kinda agree that with having these huge hard drives these days,
getting rid of something like fonts doesn't reap back in space like it did in the old days...

If I deleted fonts today, with a 500 gig hardrive, it would be purley out of curiosity just to see if I could as I also have Win 7...
but, it's your rig so.........
Anyway,
if you delete let us know how you got around the "cannot delete system files" IF YOU DARE..lol.......

click on font settings on the left side corner after clicking the control panel on fonts. good luck
