how to delete font

You can use ShGetSpecialFolderLocation with CSIDL_FONTS to get the directory where the fonts are stores, and just remove the file manualy

can you please tell me more,i did not understand what you meant

i tried both the methods but no luck.i am trying to delete the fonts from windows server 2003

Are you logged as Admin?
Do you have permissions?

OK then it's time for sysinternals.  

Use procexp.exe to find out whats got the font open.

Here is a working link

Note XP has the same GUI like Server 2003!

ok,i downloaded Process Explorer,now what do i need to do next

Appologies.  I just tested on my server and I can see all open files except fonts.  You need to click on view handles to see open files but the fonts aren't listed.  

Did you try safe mode?  I just did and I can delete all fonts!

There are two font's used by the system that can't be deleted but all others go.

Tahoma.ttf and micross.ttf.
