ive got quite a few fonts in my list (using corel draw) that i dont use but ive deleted some before and basically it messed up my windows menus and internet browsing (haha serves me right).

but there are a bunch of fonts starting WP (eg. WP Arabic Sihafa, WP Math A) now these APPEAR useless .... just wondering if they have a hidden use somewhere or its safe to just delete them.

You can delete any font you want MTheo. It is best to stay clear of any that you recognise though.

Why delete fonts ?

Well your computer has to load them all when starting up for one.
By deleting most of them you can shave a very short amount of time off your bootup (that is getting slightly pervy though).

Occasionally fonts are used for weird purposes. Access 97 thinks it hasn't been registered if a certain font isn't installed on your PC for example.

i wouldnt touch any fonts that are installed with windows tbh, as stated above

if youve manually installed any tho they are perfectly safe to delete

i just use a fair amount and its a pain searching thru a list of 100's when there are some you dont use.

and fontnavigater isnt that good so if its not being used i delete it :) (prob why things always stop working hahaha)

im a tinkerer :)
