    Hello , Instead of permanantly Removing it You can prevent a font from loading without removing it from the hard disk. To do this, move the font from the Windows\Fonts folder to another folder. this will you can install it as and when neccessary

    You can also Use Font management software Font Xplorer Which does not support Adobe Type 1 fonts and OpenType fonts with PostScript outlines. It works with TrueType and OpenType fonts that have TrueType outlines.

Or, so you find that font installation in Windows is too difficult for you? Want to print professionally designed sample sheets listing all your fonts? Font Xplorer comes to the rescue! Designed for both beginners and professionals, this font tool should find a place in every computer.

    Some features:

    • View extended font metrics information
    • View the installation status of fonts to instantly determine if that font is already installed
