foreign fonts-what are they and do I need them

[Guest]

Hello,
I have fonts with names like DotumChe and GulimChe. I tried to delete them
and they will not delete.

What are they for and why do I need them in Word 2003?

Thank you for any help you send my way!

You probably don't use many of the fonts that are installed on your
computer. Why do you find these two particularly offensive?

I am trying to clean out files for more space and noticed that I have never
used them or a lot more fonts with similar names. They all have the @ symbol
in their names. I would like to know if they are Microsoft Fonts that are
commonly loaded on new computers. Because if they didn't come loaded on my
machine, I don't know where they came from, and that's a bit disconcerting.
So is the fact that they will not delete. Have you seen these font names
before? Do you know why they won't delete?

The two fonts you mention are automatically installed if you enable East
Asian text support in Windows XP. See
