How can I programmatically uninstall a font in Windows?

Question

I have tried searching for an answer to this but I cannot find anything on SO which is much to my surprise, I thought for sure this must have been asked in the past...

I have a requirement to remove/uninstall a font from the windows directory using a C# .Net (version 4) application. The font in question is usually found somewhere like: C:/Windows/Fonts

My initial thoughts was that I can just delete the file (using File.Delete(...) ), but I am unsure if this is enough? My worry comes from the installation of fonts... if you copy a file to the font folder then you get a dialog saying the font is installing.

If deleting the file is enough then I am happy to do so, or is their a more recommended way that this should be done?

If it makes any difference then the OS is Windows XP and the fonts are custom fonts but I am not sure what the original install method was

As clearly posting on StackOverflow with a tag of C# isn't apparently enough... I want to do this from a C# .Net (version 4) application .
