Windows Fonts?

[ffutures]

I have an annoying problem - over the years I've installed a LOT of fonts in my Windows box, many of which have never been used. The problem is that huge numbers of fonts can apparently slow things down a lot, and I can easily believe that's one of the reasons why my PC now takes about five minutes to boot.

The trouble is that some of them probably are used - typically in one or two documents - and I would really rather not load the document at some future point then find that I have to replace a load of drop caps or something of the sort.

Is there any way to run some sort of audit that checks all of the documents and fonts, and comes up with a list of fonts that aren't actually in any document? Then if possible lets you choose which ones you want to keep and deletes the rest.

Any thoughts?

It would have to be some form of document management program that might let you see which fonts are being used in a collection of documents. Other than that, it's one at a time.

Best suggestion I've had so far is uninstall and archive everything that isn't Windows system or part of Office, and a couple of others I use a lot, then reinstall them if a document needs them.
