Which are the absolute necessary Win2000 default TTF fonts / Which can be uninstalled ?

[Paul Barasoa]

I installed too much TTF fonts (> 3000) in one step. I had to learn that this makes my Win2000
installation very very slow (particulary Acrobat Reader). So I want to remove/uninstall them again.
But: Which fonts should be kept? Which are necessary to run Win2000?

Create a new folder OLDFONTS and move those fonts which you do not
need to that folder. If no strange things happen now you can delete
the fonts with the folder.
Also check the Windows 2000 core files for the file date and time
stamps. Usually all fonts that are shipped with Windows have the same
date and time stamp as the system files, so this should help you to
find the default font files.
