Reduce the number of active fonts (Windows XP)

To reduce the number of fonts installed using the Fonts utility in the Windows Control Panel:

Choose Start > Control Panel.

Double-click the Fonts icon.

Select all of the fonts in the Fonts folder.

Move the selected fonts to a temporary folder on the desktop.

Note: Some fonts are required by Windows to function. You may not be able to move all of the fonts.

Restart Windows.

Try to re-create the problem in your application. If the problem occurs, it may be related to a font installed by Windows. If the problem doesn't occur, move a small group of fonts back into the Fonts folder, and then restart Windows.

Note: For instructions on how to check font integrity, refer to document "Troubleshoot font problems (Windows)" (TechNote 328607).

Try to re-create the problem in your application. If the problem occurs, remove some of the fonts from the Fonts folder. If the problem doesn't occur, add a few more fonts to the Fonts folder.

Restart Windows.

Repeat steps 7-8 until you isolate each problem font.

Delete each problem font from the hard disk and reinstall it from its original disks or CD. If a font continues to cause problems after you reinstall it, then contact the font manufacturer for assistance.

To isolate fonts that are installed through a font utility, refer to the utility manufacturer's instructions.
