They will still be present, just not available. Ultimately you could go to /usr/share/fonts (presumably where the files are) and delete directories you do not want. I use Fedora, where I could also do 'yum list lohit*' to list all lohit fonts, then do 'yum remove ....' for all I do not want. I don't know what equivalent Slackware uses. Greg
