To prevent a font from loading without removing it from the hard disk, move the font from the Fonts folder into another folder. Use this method for troubleshooting purposes. This process does not completely remove the font, because font registry information is not deleted. However, it prevents the font from loading.

Windows XP and 95/98/2000 or NT4

You can use Advanced Font Viewer as a Windows font manager.
