Question 2:
The filename of the font (like QI___.ttf) is irrelevant. The name you see in Control Panel/Fonts, and in your font box in Word, is 'hardcoded' in the ttf-file, and can't be changed.
Question 1:
a. This is not the right way to do it. To uninstall a font, use Control Panel/Fonts. If you want to keep a copy somewhere, make a copy before uninstalling it (or will be gone).
b. That depends on how the programs programmer programmed it. The program might substitute another font, or it may quit with any error message you can imagine. Most programs, however, only use the standard fonts.
Hope this helps.

1. In a post in ME, Bob P directed me to links which have the Standard fonts for my version of windows because I wanted to clean out some of the fonts I had previously downloaded there.
Now for a silly question. I didn't delete them, but instead moved them to a folder until I see if all goes well.
If in case a font is associated with any programs I use or whatever, that I may have removed, will there be an error message, if not what will happen?
2. On fonts that I have downloaded, can they be renamed and still work?
Thanks,
Lee
