Default removing non western fonts

What you are seeing is the various character sets that are available
within the font, not separate fonts. Thus, for example, the font Arial
(file arial.ttf) is a unicode font and contains 1,296 glyphs or characters
supporting a number of unicode ranges including Basic Latin, Latin-1
Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Basic Greek, Cyrillic, Basic Hebrew, Hebrew
Extended and Basic Arabic. This font supports code pages 1252 Latin 1 and
many others including 437 US.

Why aren't these fonts showing up in Windows 98 or XP? and, yes, I
have the same version of works installed on all 3 systems (works with
word) with the same configurations.

Just what exactly is your problem?

is there away to disable that?


Either give your PC to someone who needs it, return it and ask for your
money back or install Linux.

You'll just have to learn to live with it. Personally I can't see this as
any form of problem.

Try this 3 year old response of mine. I can't improve on it easily.

If you mean in applications like Wordpad, then the variations are
embedded in a single font. Not all applications show these variations,
(Notepad doesn't), but you cannot get rid of them easily. I have heard
of people replacing the standard fonts with Win3.1 fonts to stop them
showing, but that seems a little pointless to me.

You will find replacing arial.tft with a copy from another system an
interesting exercise. Read my previous posts and you'll find the reason
why.
