Font Forum

I have all the fonts that I've bought or downloaded, in one Folder, which I keep synced, and al the fonts in that main folder are sorted into Groups by type (script, serif, display, etc.) There are 2605 fonts in this folder. But the LIBRARY view shows 3368 fonts, so I assume the rest of those are system fonts? (are there really 763 system fonts in Windows 10?) How do I sort so I ONLY see the system fonts? I want to delete some of them.

System Fonts are critical to Windows, and should not be removed.

You can add a tag, e.g. System to all your fonts within the Library view, then go to your main folder and remove the tag from all those fonts.

Now you can use the Tag Search panel to show all fonts with the specific System tag. You can even make a Custom View out of it for your convenience.

Hope this helps.

This will work, thank you!

Yeah, I've heard that said before. But I don't think ALL those fonts are critical to Windows; things like Comic Sans are just plain stupid! And I'll NEVER need all those Chinese and other foreign fonts!

MainType's list of System fonts does not include Comic Sans or those Chinese and other foreign fonts.

Is Comic Sans even included with Windows now? Which version of the OS are you using?

Windows 10. I'm guessing they are in the system fonts, because they are in the list of all fonts on MainType, and I certainly didn't download them intentionally! They are not in the main folder that I have for all my fonts that I've downloaded.
