Fonts slow down system startup. The difference between 1000 and 100 installed fonts is almost 25 seconds which is huge. Windows XP installs 44 fonts and all other fonts are added by other applications such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop and Gimp. A nice list of system fonts that are required by Windows XP and other Windows editions can be found at Kays Kreations.
Font Frenzy is a free font manager with some unique features not found in any free font program. Not only will it help you to view, install, and uninstall your fonts – it can help you “defrenzy” your whole font folder and put an end to font frustration and slow boot-up times.
Font Frenzy is freeware and can be downloaded completely free of charge.
