FONT SCREW UP -=HELP=-

Post by Dystopia »

A while back i installed like 1975 fonts at once, I dont think i installed em the right way, I just copied and pasted in C:Window/Fonts, so in effect this slowed down my computer at least buy 200% b/c i have a total of 4.5k fonts, now I NEED to uninstall them all, BUT keeping the defullt windows fonts. I cant just go through 4.5k of fonts looking for the windows fonts not to delete them!! Please help me !!!!

i think you can kill just about all the truetype (.ttf i think) fonts.
most of the downloaded fonts are truetype and maybe 1 or 2 adobe.

im 99% sure of it. sort by type and kill the .TTF
edit: the truetypes with the blue icon, not the green. i think thats
one of the differences. im lookin it up atm.

ya i think its the *.TTF you can delete and *.OTF you must keep

all OTF are standard. i think only 1 or 2 TTF are standard.

so i would probably delete all blue icons and leave the green icons.
