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. -- Mike Maltby *ProteanThread* wrote: Better Look He http://www.rtdos.com/arial_turkish.jpg 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. -- Mike Maltby *ProteanThread* wrote: is there away to disable that? |

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. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html On 28 Nov 2006 15:24:10 -0800, in microsoft.public.windowsme.general, "*ProteanThread*" wrote: isn't there a way foir these other languages to not show up in the drop down list ?

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. -- Mike Maltby *ProteanThread* wrote: Thanks Alan, that was exactly the response I was looking for. |
