Do anybody know how to uninstall the MingLiu font?

Why do you want to have MingLiU deleted?
Anyhow, I suppose you can just delete it in the same way as any ordinary Truetype font.

Then what (the MingLiU font installation) left on your computer are the NLS files and some entries in the Registry.

It's because it blocks me from using things like yahoo search. Whenever the charset is set to big5, IE will force the language to traditional chinese and it won't send my request correctly. Unless there's a way to get around it, I'll have to delete the font from the system.

How can I delete entries from the registry?

小豬﹕

我相信問題與 MingLiU 無關,刪了它也無用。
那應該是 Microsoft IE4 的麻煩(正確點是某
一個共用的 MIME DLL 的 limitation,但我
不能肯定是那一個……那個 export list 太
長了),令所有 Big5 的 output 都會用
Unicode 輸出。

一個 workaround 是外傳資料時改用 ISO-8859,
也就是用 Western Alphabet 了,但若一個網
頁的 Charset 是 Big5 (and the like),系統
會鎖死在 Chinese Traditional,我們就不能
改用 ISO-8859。這又是一個 glitch 了,但
我找個了一個解決的方法,就是在 Registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER (or HKEY_USERS)
Software (or Default->Software)
Microsoft
Internet Explorer
International
950
加一個 string value "Script" = "big5"

有利必有弊﹕遇到 charset=BIG5 的 MIME 資
料就不會自動跳 codepage 了。

若你有用 GB,那麼亦要在相應的 codepage
settings 內加一個 string value。
在 NT4 的修改法亦大同小異。

Thanks. I'll try and see if that works. I guess now, I have one more reason to hate IEs......

上面嘗試用中文講電腦問題,似乎很麻煩。
所以還是用(蹩腳的)英文好了。

Well, this is a relatively minor issue.
My system crashes frequently if I run Win95 and use IE4.01 and NC4.05 simultaneously.
However, I have to use MS's PWS (Personal Web Server, equiv to IIS on NT) and have to stick with the monster! #XY*$%&
Actually, if one uses PWS or IIS, there could be a fix: redirect the outgoing data to the "virtual server" (like proxy) on one's computer and "translate" the Unicode part to Big-5 (or GB) before they are actually sent.
