McGoose 3 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi folks, just uninstalled FSX for a complete reinstall. Noticed "FSX\fonts" folder could not be deleted as the font "IRS____.ttf" was still in use (which turned out to be installed by this plane). Also, there is a shortcut (not the font) in "C:\windows\fonts\IRS Standard" linked to it. I only managed to get them deleted by starting Win7 64 in safe mode with command prompt. Is there a more elegant way/fix to solve this problem? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solrayz 3 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Really? That's your response to a customer? You provide software that upon uninstallation, leaves behind messes like this font issue, and that is all you have to offer? Anyway, for those who have trouble removing this via Safe Mode, another option that worked for me is as follows: Open regedit and navigate to: Quote HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts Find IRS____.ttf and remove, reboot and delete.

The web is full of such issues, caused by Windows (or how it is being used) and not the font itself or the software using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modifying the Windows registry can hardly be called an elegant (or more elegant) solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe our un-installers should be designed to fix Windows issues. It can be very dangerous, certainly in this case where removing a font can cause other add-ons to fail.
