Default Font Folder - Where can I download it?

[enmar884]

Hi, so, I'm having a bit of an issue here. I kind of installed 4,803 fonts that I really didn't need, and I'd like to just get the default fonts back. Does anyone know where I can download the Windows 7 default font folder? :huh:

That's a lot of fonts!!!
Anyway, I would be glad to oblige, but cannot think of any reasonable way to upload my directory with my rather slow connection. (It's 384mbs in size)

But I think this site may have the answers you want:
Trimming and Managing Your Font Collection in Windows

Gah, I was hoping there was another way rather than having to delete them (while making sure I didn't delete any important ones)



And so it begins...(unless someone else has only the default fonts +/- a few and can upload them to MegaUpload )

Have you still got the win7 ISO ? Maybe extract them from that and reinstall

If you get stuck finding them let me know and i will upload them somewhere for you

Why not just take them off of the widows 7 disc?.

 

[enmar884]

I would still have the .iso...only I deleted it yesterday when attempting to burn a new disc

If you could upload them, it would be much appreciated

Sure no probs , I got a crap upload speed , so when i have upped em i will PM you the link ( maybe in about an hour or so). Are you dual booting ?

 

[YupYup]

And no restore points?.

 

[enmar884]

No sir, I'm running strong on just Windows 7 until the time comes D:

I'll probably be asleep in an hour, so I'll thank you in advance...

Thanks

and then I'll thank you again when I wake up in anywhere from 9-14 hours.

Any one who wants a download link to the Windows Default Font folder (from Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, but I am pretty sure it is the same on all versions of Windows 7) can get it by going to MobileMe

There will be one folder called 'Fonts' there; it will contain about 354MB worth of default fonts.

(STEELING IS WRONG, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UNLESS YOU ALREADY OWN ALL OF THE FILES AND JUST WANT TO REPLACE THEM)

To download click on the folder, then click on the arrow pointing into a box in the top middle of your screen.

It will download as a zip file (I don't know how big it'll be). Unzip it and then do whatever you want to do with it on your Windows 7 PC.

There are no Viruses (according to MSE) in this download.

Please feel free to thank me.

PS I would not recommend using IE to download this due to HTML5 compatibility problems.

The download link is now live.

I would upload mine, but it is a huge folder (373MBs). See whether you still have a restore point that contains it. Then use Shadow Explorer to retrieve it. Navigate to C > Windows > Fonts, right click on it and Export.

I don't have a restore point. Usually I delete the restore points because I have 10 GB of 120 GB on drive C:

OK, let me upload them. But it will take a while. Check back in about one hour.

Make that 2 hours. I had to go to an alternate site which is very slow. Skydrive would not accept the file.

Here is the link for downloading the fonts:

Megashares - Drag. Drop. Yup. The first site to provide FREE file hosting with drag n drop support.

Go to "regular" download. And watch out - they may ask you to reactivate the account with a 4 digit number right above the Download button (they supply the number). They say it will take 28 minutes. Although the file was compressed in the .zip, it is still over 200MBs.
Once you unzipped the folder, you can move the Fonts file to C > Windows.
