bucketbuster Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Does anyone know which fonts are needed by XP and which are save to be removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 It's hard to say really. It depends on what applications you have and which fonts they use. The recommended method of uninstalling fonts is dragging them out of the fonts folder and storing them in another. This will allow you to easily restore your fonts incase you uninstall an essential font. I would say definitely keep arial, verdana, Times new Roman, courier fonts, serif/sans-serif fonts. Possibly others.Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
