How to reset fonts back to default?

[yongho]

Is there any way I can reset my Windows XP fonts back to the way the
were when I first installed Windows?

I installed too many new fonts becaues I type in a few differn
languages, but it's too crazy now

Try this method (courtesy of Kelly Theriot MVP):

Make a work folder - say C:\Tempfont. Put the XP CD in the drive and exit from the auto-run.

Start - Run - CMD.EXE and in that give the letter of the CD drive (say Z - so

Z:
CD i386
EXPAND *.TT_ C:\TEMPFONT
EXPAND *.FO_ C:\TEMPFONT
C:
CD \TEMPFONT
REN *.TT_ *.TTF
REN *.FO_ *.FON
EXIT

That will extract all 298 fonts to C:\TEMPFONT. You can then go to the Fonts folder, Browse to C:\Tempfont, and select the ones you need. Check the 'Copy to fonts folder' box before OK. Once you are sure you have everything you need, you can delete the work folder.
