I agree with Ferbat…there are so many Fonts in W7 that I would never use and wanted to know if I can delete them.
Also when I click on the link in J’s post I get a long list of foreign writing which looks like Arabic or something similar.

Why can’t I just find a list that shows me what the font looks like. 1-2 pages, 1 simple sentence per font. When you google this request, you get a method of writing a script that you can copy and paste … somewhere. HELP!

Roger,

I hope you found a copy of the Andy font. If not, it is available: just Google “andy font” and you’ll find it.

Andy is made by Monotype.

Fonts (daught-calm) says this: “Andy was designed by Steve Matteson for Monotype. Andy is a casual typeface family with a controlled spontaneity that still offers legibility needed for long documents. The Andy font family has become a popular choice for those seeking handwriting fonts.”

MyFonts (daught-calm) has this to say: “This childish script by Agfa-Monotype designer Steve Matteson strikes a great balance between informality and legibility. The TrueType versions have been extensively tuned (hinted) for high legibility at small sizes on screen a quality level termed ESQ (enhanced screen quality) by the foundry.”

In case you don’t already know, almost every font imaginable has been run through a font editor and is available for free. The names have been changed to something similar (eg, Mistral became Minstrel, Anna became Annastasia, etc) and the quality varies from excellent to not worth the space on your HDD.

How can I install useful, English fonts on my system instead of these pointless wingdings and languages I will never use?

I have “Vijaya” typeface on my new computer and I have Windows seven.

However, when I try to type something in that “Vijaya” typeface, my typing appears on the screen and prints on my printer as a Roman face with serifs.

How can I type in Vijaya ?
