一些Windows用户不知道,它是在计算机上存储和管理字体的操作系统(operating system),而不是使用它们的单个应用程序。
尽管如此,随着您在计算机上安装的每个应用程序(例如文字处理器和桌面出版商),越来越多的字体会累积在您的 PC 上。您完全有可能在您的计算机上拥有如此多的字体,以至于性能开始受到影响。
在Windows(Windows)中安装和删除字体很容易,但是有一种方法可以恢复计算机上的字体,以仅包括那些最初随Windows提供的字体。
这样,当您使用使用Windows存储和管理的字体的应用程序时,您可以重新开始并让您的(Windows)计算机正常运行(computer operate)。
为什么要处理太多字体?
如上所述,当您使用文字处理器和电子表格等使用Windows管理的字体的应用程序时,过多的字体会降低您的计算机速度。
这些性能下降可能表现为应用程序需要很长时间才能加载,使应用程序的字体下拉菜单几乎无法使用,并且您的计算机占用了太多内存来管理所有这些字体。
没有硬性规定可以确定多少字体太多;这取决于您在Windows中安装了多少字体、您的 PC 中有多少内存以及您拥有的处理器类型。
处理太多字体意味着删除那些你不需要的字体。当您这样做时,您还会注意到更容易找到您想要的字体,因为您不必费力地浏览数百种字体。
在 Windows 中恢复默认字体
要将Windows恢复为默认(default number)字体数量,请首先使用具有管理权限的帐户登录您的计算机。以下过程适用于Windows Vista、7、8 和Windows 10。单击Start > Control Panel。
在控制面板(Control Panel)窗口中,点击外观和个性化(Appearance and Personalization),然后点击字体(Fonts)。您也可以单击开始并(Start and type)在搜索框中输入字体(fonts)。
您现在应该查看字体控制面板(Fonts Control Panel)。请注意(Notice),此处列出了您 PC 上安装的每种字体。要查看您在Windows(Windows)中安装了多少字体,请查看窗口底部。这是Windows报告您的 PC 上安装了多少字体的地方。
要将计算机上的字体重置为Windows(Windows)附带的字体,请单击窗口左侧标题为“字体设置”(Font Settings)的(hand side)链接。
在窗口的字体设置(Font Settings)部分,单击标题为恢复默认字体设置(Restore Default Font Settings)的按钮,然后按照屏幕上的说明进行操作。完成后,只有Windows附带的字体会显示在您 PC 上的字体列表中。
如上所述,在 PC 开始降低计算机和应用程序(computer and applications)的速度之前,没有可以在 PC 上安装的通用字体数量。但是,在具有大约 2GB RAM的中等功能计算机上,您将开始遇到安装大约 1,000 到 1,200 种字体的问题。
当然,你也可以将电脑(computer one)上不需要的字体一一删除。但是,在您执行此操作之前,您应该将所有字体备份到一个单独的位置,以防您删除字体并稍后意识到您希望它回到应用程序的可用字体列表中。
事实上,定期备份您的字体是确保您不必去寻找您想要但之前删除的字体的好方法。享受!
Dealing with Too Many Fonts in Windows?
Unknown to ѕome Wіndows users, it’s the opеrating system that stores and manages fonts оn a computer, not the individual applications that make use of them.
Still, with each application you install on your computer such as word processors and desktop publishers, more and more fonts accumulate on your PC. It’s entirely possible for you to have so many fonts on your computer that performance starts to suffer.
Installing and deleting fonts in Windows is easy enough, but there is a way you can restore the fonts on your computer to include just those that originally shipped with Windows.
In this way, you can start over and make your computer operate as it should when you use an application that uses the fonts stored and managed by Windows.
Why Deal with Too Many Fonts?
As stated above, too many fonts can slow down your computer when you use applications such as word processors and spreadsheets that use the fonts managed by Windows.
These performance slowdowns can take the form of applications taking a long time to load, making the font drop down menu of an application almost impossible to use, and too much memory being used up by your computer to manage all of those fonts.
There are no hard and fast rules that determine how many fonts is too many; it depends on how many fonts you have installed in Windows, how much memory you have in your PC, and the type of processor you have.
Dealing with too many fonts means deleting those that you don’t need. When you do, you will also notice that it is easier to find the font you want because you won’t have to wade through hundreds of fonts.
Restoring Default Fonts in Windows
To restore Windows to the default number of fonts, begin by logging into your computer using an account that has administrative privileges. The following procedure works in Windows Vista, 7, 8 and Windows 10. Click on Start > Control Panel.
In the Control Panel window, click on Appearance and Personalization and then Fonts. You can also just click on Start and type in fonts in the search box.
You should now be looking at the Fonts Control Panel. Notice that each of the fonts installed on your PC are listed here. To see how many fonts you have installed in Windows, look at the bottom of the window. This is where Windows reports how many fonts are installed on your PC.
To reset the fonts on your computer to only the ones that shipped with Windows, click on the link on the left hand side of the window titled Font Settings.
In the Font Settings section of the window, click on the button titled Restore Default Font Settings and follow the onscreen directions. When done, only the fonts that shipped with Windows will show up in the list of fonts you have on your PC.
As stated above, there is no universal number of fonts that can be installed on a PC before they start to slow down your computer and applications. However, on a moderately powerful computer with about 2GB of RAM, you’ll start to experience problems at around 1,000 to 1,200 installed fonts.
Of course, you can also delete the fonts you don’t want on your computer one by one. Before you do this, however, you should back up all your fonts to a separate location in case you delete a font and realize later that you want it back in the list of available fonts in your applications.
In fact, periodically backing up your fonts is a good way to ensure that you don’t have to go hunting for a font you want but deleted earlier. Enjoy!
