Managing Fonts in Vista

Hi…
I am new to Vista, and not having much fun with it at all.
I am trying to remove fonts that can be removed, and Vista is not allowing me to do that. I am not able to drag out of the fonts folder. I have figured to copy, and paste into a new folder, and then go back and delete the font from Windows:Fonts.
Is there something I am missing here? Shouldn't I be able to just drag out of the folder?
And all the foreign language fonts…. I don't want them. Do I have to keep them?
And one more… Does anyone know of a font viewer/manager for Vista? I have used The Font Thing for XP, and it was great, but is not compatible with Vista. I want to be able to view my purchased fonts more than one at a time, and choose the ones I want to install.
Thanks in advance for any help.

In Windows Vista accessing the Fonts section is slightly different. Go to the Control Panel and type Font into the Search box to immediately get a link to the Fonts folder, with sub-links such as Install or remove a font and View installed fonts. To install a new font, right-click the Fonts folder and choose Install new font from the shortcut menu. You can also choose Classic view and then click on the Fonts icon to manage your fonts as in Windows XP.
