Can't seem to delete fonts

September 3, 2008

I did something weird because I was in a hurry and now I can't get rid of

these specific fonts. I tried the basic way which was to select the fonts in

the Fonts folder in Control Panel and I selected 'Delete' but it kept giving

me this message: "Cannot delete file. Cannot read from the source file or

disk." A strange thing is that the file size of each of these fonts is 0.

What does it mean?? I tried to reinstall the same fonts hoping it would just

replace the previous ones but it's not working. What should I do?

RE: Can't seem to delete fonts

I ended up asking this question to MyFonts.com because that's where I bought

the fonts from and the nice tech support person suggested for me to use their

Font Installer to remove the fonts and it was the only thing that worked!
