Removing Unnecessary Fonts

P

PT

I've been told that MS Office 2003 (WinXP Home) comes with about 700 fonts,
all of which get loaded in RAM.

Is this true or partially true?

If so, since I rarely use more than several. how could I prevent their
loading, yet permit me to access them in the rare cases they become
necessary?

you left out the questions

"or is this false or partially false"

no point in tinkering with anything
that has not caused any problems
for you or was designed not
to cause any problems...

Vista and XP handle fonts differently to Win 9x and family.. removing fonts
will just reduce functionality.. it will not affect performance..

Far less than 700. And the number that are installed on your system
depends on what you told Office to put on your computer. I'm running over
900 on my system (6 yrs old w/ Win XP Pro and Office 2003) and I have no
problems whatsoever.
