Required WIN XP PRO fonts?

[mogur2]

Hi,
Is there a list of fonts that Win XP PRO requires to be kept installed? I have a new
system and some apps have taken upon themselves to dump tons of useless fonts into the
system. I want to make sure I don't remove required fonts.

Warm Regards,
Lou

Fonts are monitored by Windows File Protection. So if you
delete a "System" font - WFP will quietly replace them back
in the fonts folder. However, it (WFP) won't protect other
application fonts, so removing those may cause unexpected
results.
The following MS document lists Fonts "Available" from XP,
but note that not all are installed by default:
