    In order to remove the fonts from your system follow the below steps mention.

    1. Click on Start menu, and then click on Run.
    2. Type the following command, and then click OK: %windir%\fonts
    3. Then Click on the font that you want to remove. To select more than one font at a time, try to press and hold the CTRL key while you select each font.
    4. Then, On the File menu, click on Delete.
    5. When you receive the "Are you sure you want to delete these fonts?" prompt, click on Yes.

    Note:- 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.

    Try to find out the following registry key on your system. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Xp\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes. And then delete the above registry key and reboot your system. Now, when you reboot your system you will not find MS Sans Serif font on your pc.
