557 -- which reminds me, I should delete the custom fonts I don't use anymore, since I'm not big on Web design.

us graphic designers use most of the fonts we download...

If you count the bold and italic versions of a font then probably... Windows doesn't really come with that many fonts...

How do you see how many fonts you have without counting the bold and italic versions? When I look in the Windows/Fonts folder it says I have 511 but I know I don't have that many...

Yeah, I'm wondering that too. I think you just have to make the folder not show the hidden font files (which are all the extras). Then there's custom fonts -- some come with outlined versions, etc.

Well, the most popular font site is probably DaFont.com. :)

Hmm... I tried that and it went from 511 to 463, but there were still like 10 different ones for Arial LOL!

funny:
if you go to

drive:\WINDOWS\fonts and choose details
Then you select all fonts and choose properties
it will open as many property windows as you have fonts :scared:

I discovered that the hard way. heh.

then when I tried closing them, I just held the enter key... I didn't let go soon enough when they were done closing, so it opened all the previews because they were all selected...

yeah, that was a fun 10 minutes. :P

Oh poor you. :P

I just selected them all and I have the grand total of......976.

I was (still am except I don't have that much time) a font maniac. If this computer was faster I'd get me smore. Such fun. I mean, who can't like fonts!? *runs away from roar*

We have 441, but that's including the different files for each font or whatever
