What fonts do i need to keep?

[Wobble_Woo]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

Hello.

I have a alot of fonts in my system that i dont need and was wondering what ones i need to keep to keep my office suite running properly.

As far as i am aware for the system its: Courier, Geeza, Keyboard, Last Resort, Lucida Grande, Monaco, Symbol and Zapf but am getting that verified on the Apple forums.

And for Office:Calibri and Consolas (maybe also Verdana)

Thanks for your help and your time.

Just for reference i manage my fonts with Suitcase and open and close them as i require them.

Microsoft Office 2008 installs all of its fonts into the
/Library/Fonts/Microsoft/ folder.

Anything outside of this folder is installed by Apple or other
applications. Those aren't required for Microsoft Office, however, they
may be required for Mac OS X.

Hope this helps!

The complete list of what's supplied with Office 2008 is located here:

Those supplied with OS X 10.4 (Panther) are listed here:

However, even though you don't actually use some of them I'd suggest that
you leave them installed - Office as well as OS X - although the OS X
essential fonts can't be disabled.
