Here is a very good article on trimming down the fonts. It has a list
on the third page of those fonts that windows Has to have.

Hello again,
Using Windows XP, MS Word 2000, Outlook Express, dial-up internet, and
other proggies too much to delineate.
Computer is working fine, never worked better, but I understand that
computers work best when there are not too many fonts in the Fonts
folder. I have 235 fonts there (including Wingdings, of course) and
when using the word processor, I rarely use more than Times New Roman
and Comic Sans MS.
Now I know there are other fonts that are used by Windows, and maybe
other installed programs (Firefox, Internet Explorer, AVG, ZoneAlarm,
ICQ, and the many maintenance programs I'm using, etc) have installed
there own fonts.
Question (which often comes up): I know Ariel is important for email
(or is it Courier?), but how can I know which of the 235 current fonts
I have in the system I can remove?
