Perhaps because you don't write articles on easter religion or the history of Europe from the 20's to the 40's you may not need these fonts. And if you don't make web-pages for children you might not need the "Comic Sans MS" font... Personally I could do without Elephant and Edwardian Script but that's pretty much irrelevant to the topic. Having those fonts available if the need should arise IS the topic and the fact that it's considered a "Critical Update" is a joke (oh-my-god joke not ha-ha joke) AND-if you're legally running one of the products listed in the linked KB article--you PAID for this font along with all the others and now because some hypersensitive loon has decided it's offensive they think it's imperative that you remove the font entirely.

That's true, I don't.
I'm thinking of those "webdings" and "wingdings" fonts that are not
characters in any known language.. just nonsense symbols.

Granted, I don't find them offensive, but I can see no need for them.
If someone is offended by something like that, I'd suggest they
should not use the nonsensical incomprehensible font.

Or use the nonsensical incomprehensible font to make their feelings known! ;-)
