This served great for the project I was working on but now it's slowing me down too much. I've tried going to %windir%\fonts and ordering them by date modified so I would delete all of the ones that were installed yesterday but they all weirdly show the same date from the first to the last file. I can't uninstall them all because the system is already using some of them and I wouldn't want to lose Helvetica for example. I've tried to search for the default names to back them up but they simply don't show up, I don't know why, probably because there's just so much stuff up there now, every search takes ages to get done. So I don't know what to do. Selecting fonts on Word now force closes it. Not good. I'm on Win 8 x64
EDIT: searching by the search field is taking ages so I just type the name of the font while having any file in the fonts folder selected then it takes me to the right front. Looking for e.g. Consolas takes me to it and the file's properties have an appropriate date but they're not being ordered by it and it's almost impossible now to search over 30,000 fonts and pick the Win default ones
SFC / SCANNOW
. Windows has a backup of all system fonts under C:\Windows\WinSXS, but you can't just search for them and copy them over. You have to use System file checker utility. Read more
