Installing fonts screws up IE10

[AWS]

I was experiencing some page rendering errors with IE10 on a new Windows 8 system, such as:

Blank pages:

After some deep investigation (there doesn't seem to be any way to roll back font installations other than a system restore[/b]. Removing the font files from the folder doesn't help, the issues remain with IE10.

From what I've read online, installing fonts is just a matter of copying font files to WindowsFonts. Is this correct? How to uninstall fonts? (I can't find any Windows 8 related help info on the MS website.)

When copying over my font files into WindowsFonts, there's a notice about incompatible .PFB files... I simply selected &quotskip&quot for all of these, so I'm assuming they're not the problem. Also, I didn't overwrite any existing fonts--I selected &quotskip&quot

for any duplicates. The other font files are Type 1, TrueType, and OpenType. Shouldn't these be OK to install?

I'm looking for:

• Suggestions about how to proceed with installing my fonts so that IE10 doesn't get screwed up
  
• And, information about how to uninstall fonts without having to do a system restore.
  

Thanks!
