Too many Fonts

[amarinus]

I suggest, CCleaner should have a feature: Cleaning surplus fonts.

Windows starts up with a number of useful fonts; but then every new installed program brings in its ownes, I my case I ended up so far with 343 fonts. Nobody can keep track of so many, besides even for a decent appealing letter you need hardly more than ten.

Therefore I ask: why not create a section for cleaning unwanted fonts.

Interesting idea. But how would you determine what qualifies as an unwanted font?

With the minuscule amount of the hard drive space that would be saved, why bother.

 

Making the Temporary Internet Files ( TIF ) storage much smaller and System Restore only 2-5% makes much more sense.

I've thought about this before, but only after reading about it somewhere on line.

 

I've got 321 files in that folder, and as the other guys suggest, it just isn't worth the bother. And you might just break something in the process.

I wouldn't personally want it fooling around with the fonts I have installed. There are free font manager programs on download sites which can install, uninstall fonts. The one I use is X-Fonter (Last Freeware Edition).
