如果字体系列包含两种或多种字体，它们的名称将显示在“字体(Fonts)”窗口中。双击(Double click)要打开的字体，在类似于下图的窗口中查看。
如何在安装之前预览字体

您可以在安装之前预览任何字体。为此，请右键单击您感兴趣的字体，然后在上下文菜单中单击Preview。

为此，请转到“字体(Fonts)”窗口，选择所需的字体并单击“隐藏(Hide)”按钮。
此操作会使“字体”窗口中的字体(Fonts)变灰，并使其在文本编辑器和其他使用文本和字体(text and fonts)的应用程序中不可用。据微软(Microsoft)称，“隐藏字体”功能可从("Hide fonts")应用程序菜单(application menus)中删除字体。隐藏(Hidden)字体仍可用于绘制文本，但它们从菜单中隐藏。这适用于许多但并非所有Windows应用程序。

默认情况下，Windows会隐藏不是为您的键盘输入语言(keyboard input language)设置设计的字体。例如，如果您的默认语言(default language)是English，那么在使用文本编辑器时不会显示不是为英语设计的(English language)Arabic、Chinese或 Japanese 字体。要更改此选项，使这些字体不再隐藏，请单击或点击“字体(Fonts)”窗口左侧列中的“字体设置” 。(Font settings")
字体设置(Font settings)面板打开。在这里，取消选择“根据语言设置隐藏字体”("Hide font based on language settings")框，然后按 OK 按钮。

In order to manage your installed fonts, you need to open the Fonts window. In order to do this, go to the Control Panel, choose "Appearance and Personalization" followed by Fonts. Select the font that you want to remove and click the Delete button.
Windows asks if you are sure you want to delete this font permanently. Press Yes and the font is gone. If you have selected a fonts family, Windows will tell you how many fonts are going to be removed after you press Yes.
You can remove as many fonts as you wish, using the same procedure.
How to hide or unhide fonts in Windows
You can also choose not to remove a font, but hide it instead. This is useful if you want a font to be temporarily unavailable to text editors in Windows but you might want to enable it again later.
To do that, go to the Fonts window, select the desired font and click the Hide button.
This action greys out the font in the Fonts window and makes it unavailable in text editors and other apps that work with text and fonts. According to Microsoft, the "Hide fonts" feature removes fonts from application menus. Hidden fonts are still available for drawing text, but they are hidden from the menus. This works for many, but not all Windows applications.
If you want to show a font that you previously hid, in the Fonts window, click the hidden font to select it and then the Show button.
By default, Windows hides fonts that are not designed for your keyboard input language settings. For example, if your default language is English, then Arabic, Chinese or Japanese fonts which are not designed for the English language, are not going to be displayed when working with text editors. To change this option, so that these fonts are not hidden anymore, click or tap "Font settings" in the column on the left side of the Fonts window.
The Font settings panel is opened. Here, deselect the box that says "Hide font based on language settings" and press the OK button.
