Anyone got a list of default fonts? - 01/24/04 01:29 PM

I'm trying to sort out my Windows Fonts folder. I use Windows 2000 + SP3.

The problem I have is that the application Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 has automatically dumped some extra fonts into the Windows Fonts folder and I now cannot tell which of those in that folder are now Windows defaults and which are the extra ones. I'd like to keep a separate folder of, or a written list of, all extra fonts put into the folder. It's important to know which are the defaults, as deleting a default by mistake can lead to corruption of Windows.

Does anyone have a list of the default fonts, as installed under Win2K/SP3? I'd want to know the ordinary name of each font, plus its filename. Alternatively, is there a user of Photoshop Elements out there who knows which Photoshop fonts are added?

I'll be trying to contact Adobe about this, via their website, but I somehow doubt I'll easily get the answer I'm after, if at all. It really annoys me when applications automatically dump all manner of fonts into the Windows Fonts folder.

BTW, I also use Office 2000, so extra fonts may have been entered by that, as well.
