... What Fonts are NEEDED what fonts are NOT ? ...

[Jorn Rudolph]

Hallo Font Group

I just got a new PC with Vista

Can anyone tell me :

What fonts is A MUST HAVE ?

I have got a new Computer and am trying to make some changes -

My system is now Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows Mail.

I was wondering what fonts I might erase without any problems,
and what fonts I MUST KEEP, because the PC use it for Windows Mail, Internet
Explorer 7

I have all fonts on back up CD - And have not erased anyone yet.

But there is some fonts I personal never use for documents -
And I just want to get a more "clear" fontlist in Windows Mail and Words
Only with the fonts I use (+The fonts I must keep for the System - even
though I personal do not use them)

And I have other fonts, who look different from each others I use now and
then - Jokermann, Medusa, akaPotsley and others.


I have read that Calibri is used lot in Vista. Is it correct? (I will not
erase it, I am just asking)


Also I read that all fonts with Red are a must.

Also any fonts with MS or Microsoft.

I have Ariel, Courier, Georgia, Impact, Times New Roman, Verdana, Tahoma,
Marlett (What is that used for?)
Webdings, Symbol
Can I erase anyone of them - Or must I keep them all?

I never write in Arabic, Chinese, Hebron, Russian, Polish - But I sometimes
see things on the Internet from many different countries,

who use those letters on the Internet Site - Newspapers for example. (And I
will keep all the fonts for that use, because I want to be able to

see all sorts of language - Even though I do nor understand it.

Can I erase all those fonts I have written on the list below...

Or is there some I must keep on the PC ?

My article at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/DeleteFontsSafely.htm
addressed this for earlier versions of Word/Windows, but note that if you
have Word 2007, the templates are based on several new fonts, all beginning
with C: Calibri, Consolas, Cambria, Constantia, Corbel, and Candara. In
addition, Segoe UI is the new interface font for Windows and Office. See

Marlett (What is that used for?)

Marlett contains the symbols used by the windows interface, including
the three buttons (minimize, fullscreen/window, and exit) at the upper
right hand corner of every window, the scroll bar triangles that you
click on to scroll, and a few others. DO NOT delete it!!

The reason why MS started with, and continues to use, a font for those
functions is beyond me. I suppose one could then replace Marlett with
"design-your-own" buttons, but I doubt that that was ever in MS's
thoughts!
