My font folder is full of foreign fonts that I did not install. I think
maybe it was done through Windows updates and Word updates. Can I remove
these fonts? Which fonts must I maintain in my OS? I do desktop publishing
and need lots of fonts of different varieties at different times, any ideas?

Thank you, Joan

You can just delete those fonts that you believe that you do not need.
However, a better plan would be to move the font files to some other folder.
That way when some application falls over because it can't find an expected
font file, it is relatively easy to move it back. Once you are happy that
everything still works OK, then you can consider deleting them (and even
then I would consider shifting them onto a CD-R).
