    HI,
    Well, I downloaded some 'nice' fonts and am trying to delete default ones that all look the same to me. I was able to delete many , but there are still some that it won't let me delete (I was not using them). Need to keep as much space clear on computer as possible.
    Windows XP

    Vielen Dank!

    Some of the fonts are considered system fonts and if they are being used by the system, you cannot delete them. Best just to leave them alone. They do not take up that much space.

    Also, consider reducing the amount of disk space used by System Restore.
    This article shows how to Increase that setting, but the process is the same.
    Just move the slider Left instead of Right.
