To remove the fonts, you need to create a folder to put the old fonts in:

1. Click the Start button and select Computer. Navigate to the Local Disk (C:) or where you have installed Windows.
2. Navigate to the Windows folder and create a folder to store the fonts that you are going to remove from the Fonts folder. Right-click the white space that lists the folder and files, select New, and then select Folder. Call your folder Fonts Backup or some other name so that you will be able to identify that this is the place where your old fonts are.
3. After you have created the new folder, open it.
4. Without closing the new folder you just opened, click the Start button again and select Computer. Navigate to the Local Disk (C:) drive again and to the Windows folder, and then to the Fonts folder.
5. Now that you have both the Fonts folder open and your backup folder open, arrange the two windows on your screen so that they look like the two windows in Figure 6.
6. Now that the two font folders are side by side, drag the fonts you want to back up to your backup folder while holding the Ctrl key down on your keyboard.http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/8725/233i.png
