=========================================================

= SYMPTOMS =

If you install the Supplemental Web Fonts component, additional fonts will be added to the Fonts folder in Control Panel. This font package contains some of the fonts most used by Web designers, including:


 * Microsoft’s Georgia font family
 * Microsoft’s Trebuchet font family
 * Monotype’s Monotype.com font
 * Adobe Corporation’s Minion Web font

When you install these Web fonts, they may update older fonts on your system. For this reason, the Supplemental Web Font component does not have an uninstall feature, and you will not have an option to uninstall it using Add/Remove Programs.

= CAUSE =

This is by design. You may have existing documents using these fonts and deleting them may affect those documents.
