Okay, I Googled (which I should have done before posting), and found an explanation. It's annoying, but at least it's an explanation. From desktop/removing-foreign-language-fonts/60f5ac05-182e-438f-88e4- 2a7432d8e161 It's a six-page thread, of which so far I've read only the first, but here's the explanation that makes sense: - 'Social Answers' apparently means that when Microsoft doesn't have an answer (among the support people anyway) they hope someone else will come up with one.

There is one directory table for each of four general font styles: 'Monospace', 'Serif', 'SansSerif', and 'UI'. Now the key here is that these text files describe how to display any of the Unicode characters in that chosen style, by referencing which fonts contain the definitions of various ranges of Unicode characters.

They don't want you to delete it because, well, who knows what might happen to all those programs dependent on displaying a 'Pwoo' (it doesn't look as bad as it sounds). Hey, it's only 366 megabytes and 63 fonts on each system, right?
Don't you feel good knowing that 'Phags-Pa Aspirated Fa' (a script not used since 1368) is available on every Windows 7 system? - - Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA Shikata ga nai.
