Well I can't give you a list, but if you are talking about the fonts that
came with a new PC with Windows installed, you will spend far more time
fooling with the font management program over time than you ever will save
by using it. I have one two, freeware, but I realized I was spend lots of
time managing fonts, and gaining no real time anywhere else. There just
aren't that many, and they don't take that much time to load. In fact, after
adding a thousand more, the only program I ever found that took longer was
GIMP, and I don't use it now.
Have fun.

Re: System Fonts
Thanks all for the information. I think " Wandering" hit the nail on the
head - so far I've spent too much time trying to figure this program out -
not worth it! I really wanted something that would maybe tell me if I had
fonts that were close dups to others (i.e. at least they look similar) so I
could weed things out some but I think I'm better off leaving things alone.
Again, thanks for the responses.
