Comment 3 for bug 1736973

This is mostly a windows issue... deleted fonts aren't really deleted. There are zombie copies of the font still hidden in the directory.

They are odd duplicates with fontname_n.ttf and the permissions are all clobbered up. Even with administrator privileges, they can't be renamed/deleted/moved via windows, without reg hacking and whatnot.

Unlocker won't do it.

To even see the font(s), one needs to use explorer as a network access to \\COMPUTERNAME\C$\Windows\Fonts\. ("COMPUTERNAME" is whatever yours is.) These are not typical hidden files, which can be shown with a directory (folder) setting.

You can also use the command prompt to navigate to, and display the contents of the font directory: (dir |more)

I used the command-prompt launched as administrator to delete.

Would be nice if the windows builds of Inkscape ignored these zombie fonts like LibreOffice does, but ... bigger fish to fry.

Would be even nicer if Windoze would work right with the permissions.

I'd use the command prompt as administrator or a linux rescue cd to delete the hidden zombie files in the fonts directory.
