Hiding Foreign Language Fonts in Vista

Does anyone know how I could hide the various, non-deleteable foreign language fonts so they won't show up in my drop-down fonts lists? scrolling through all these useless fonts takes a lot of time, and I'll never use them. I tried to delete them, even when logged in as owner and administrator, taking ownership, etc., but have found no solution myself after trying all the solutions that were posted on this forum. HELP!!!

1. Open Fonts by clicking the Start button
GetOpenContent.aspx
, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Fonts.
2. Click the font that you want to uninstall. To select more than one font at a time, press and hold down CTRL while you click each font.
3. On the File menu, click Delete.
If you don’t see the File menu, press ALT.

Hope this helps

That doesn't work for these fonts -- they were installed with the OS and are protected by Microsoft/Trusted Installer. Anyone else?
