Am also going to apologize for a bum steer. "Trusted Installer" was a group
in during the public preview stages of Vista development. It is no longer
included.
Have you tried going to Properties of the font file. On the Security tab
you'll see various user groups (including Trusted Installers) listed. If
you click on TrustedInstaller, you'll see that "Full Control" is marked. If
you click on "Administrators," you'll see that only Read and Read and
Execute are active. Click the shielded button. The shield indicates
Administrator privileges are required and clicking the button will bring up
a UAC prompt. OK that button. Edit the permissions for Administrators to
include Full Control. Then delete the unwanted font files.
Personally and barring the optional removal of components through Turn
Windows Features On/Off, I recommend leaving all operating system files
including fonts untouched but it's your boat...
