Computer Fonts - Deleting, Renaming
Oct 11, 2015 08:41:29 #
There are so many fonts on a Windows computer, and so many look alike. Would it create problems if I deleted or renamed some of them?

Why not just leave them alone? Unintended consequences comes to my mind.

There are so many, and so many are similar that looking for a font to use is overly time consuming.

Apparently, it's not a big deal.

jer.. don't junk 'em....
Use different folders for different projects... that way I only load fonts pertaining to a specific project. I can add/subtract any amount of fonts in folder. That way U can control #of fonts loaded for project.. the rest are still there.... just not loaded when U select a certain project.
Some programs can place fonts into specific categories for Ur' viewing pleasure.... U won't have to censor /- view fonts from A - Z etc..

It seems to me, back when I used Windows, that there was a program that would list the fonts and show each font name in the actual typeface so you would know what it looked like. That memory location is, sadly, no longer operative.

If you have MS Word you'll see that when you use the fonts pull down menu.

And, if you click on each from there you can see the whole alphabet.

Old saying Jerry,
"If it Ain't Broke, Don't F**K with it" this is especially true with computers.

Whatever font you choose try not to go the "Bold" route especially if you print a lot. The Bold fonts use more ink. If you are choosing a font for only you to use then it is personal preference. If you are choosing a font for emails and messages choose a font that is easy to read. Sending a message in Wedding Text would be unreadable.

Some of those fonts are required by Micro$wift, be careful deleting them.
Good point.

When I do a quick text printing for myself, I go to Preferences and select Fast and Grayscale. It's fast, and it saves ink.
