I am using Windows XP (home) SP2.
– Is there a way to print a list of the default windows XP fonts?
If I click on one font and select print; it starts printing in that font style, and prints all the different sizes available.
I only want to print a list of the fonts available, not what the font looks like etc.
– Also, does it matter how many fonts you have on windows XP?
I know someone who has added over 900 fonts to their default fonts; they said that is too many fonts, and that having all those fonts is causing errors and systems bugs.:confused:
– Is there a limit to the number of fonts you are allowed to add to windows XP?

Yes – Start > Run > C:WindowsFonts

It will slow down your system to have an excessive number of fonts installed, this has to do with the font handling routines built into Windows XP

There are very, very few cases of a large number of fonts being installed causing major system issues other than the overall speed decrease
