Deleting of fonts

Have found lists of fonts supplied with windows xp, but where can I find a
list of those fonts which must not be deleted?

Please help,
Jeffery.

Hi Jeffery,

Why would you want to delete any? It's not like Win95 where all the fonts
were loaded into memory at startup. Leaving them hurts nothing.

Hi Jeffery,

Well, you saw the list of the fonts that are installed in all systems,
pretty much everything else is optional. Some applications on your system
may be dependent on certain ones, so I would recommend that you only move
the unwanted ones to the Recycle Bin for now.

Of note also is that someone may send you e-mail using one of the standard
supplied fonts. If you've deleted it, then you may or may not receive
legible mail. When I first moved to XP I had this problem occasionally with
people still using Win98 which had a different set of fonts.

Fortunately most people don't do strange things in mail or Word files or
whatever, but you don't know.

Good luck....

Thanks for the thoughts. Life is odd isn't it. A friend gave me,
yesterday, a cutting from the Telegraph with the exact information I was
looking for!

Thanks again,
Jeffery.
