Cannot Disable Font in Font Book

I enable two fonts that were 'off', but I cant 'off' them back. It says "The current selection contains protected fonts, which cannot be disabled. Please deselect these fonts and try again".

I "enable" them (Myanmar MN and Myanmar Sangam MN) just to try if I can read Myanmar unicode but I still cant read it. It also disables Zawgyi font. Now I cannot read both Myanmar zawgyi and unicode, I cant read Myanmar at all. I need to off them back so that I can at least read Myanmar zawgyi.

I appreciate any advise

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

I've deleted the two fonts and now everything works fine, just like before. I will install them back if I need them in the future. Thank you so much for sharing.

FWIW, those fonts were enabled by default on my Macs running Mojave and can't be disabled.

There are two versions of Myanmar; Unicode and Zawgyi. Before I enabled these two fonts I could read Myanmar that is written in Zawgyi because I installed Zawgyi font, but after I enabled these two fonts I cannot read Myanmar Zawgyi anymore. If I can off these two fonts back it will be the same as before when I could read Myanmar Zawgyi.
