Font management

[vawitt]

Hi, everyone. I just download a very cool little program that will PRINT a samples list of all your fonts (whether installed or not), and allow you to add and delete fonts from within the program. It was free to try (for 30 days) and just $5 US to purchase. I "only" have 204 fonts intalled (so it told me) but in the spirit of spring cleaning want to move seldom-used fonts to speed up loading of PSE and other software.

Thought others might find this useful. Here's the link...

Have fun!

Saw the word "font" so I had to look:D
Very interesting. May just have to try it out. I probably have one or two, I don't need anymore!
Thanks for the link.

Hi,
a font clean-up is commendable - but...
Windows needs certain fonts to operate and those are not necessarily the ones you use the most.
This website has a list of needed fonts.

Don't know what happens if you remove one of them - but I think it pays to be cautious.

Funny you should mention system fonts. I'm fresh back from pulling up a web page listing them. Great minds think alike! :)

Here's the site I visited...it listed many different versions of Windows.
