As said earlier, fonts are installed to your system, not to your Office suite. The Office suite only use whatever fonts are already installed, but MAYBE MS Office installs a few extra fonts to the system, during installation. Hopefully the fonts won't be removed when MS Office is uninstalled. If they are, you could probably make a backup of them somewhere, then uninstall MS Office and after that copy them back again to the system's font folder.
