PC Font question *Help!*

Post by Next of Kin »

I need to find a list of all the fonts that are on my PC. This sounds reasonable enough but I need to export this list of fonts into a txt file. Any ideas of how to do this? Thanks.

Open up the command prompt and navigate to your %windir%\fonts directory.

Type:

Code: Select all

dir * > fontlist.txt

(assuming your running windows of some sort)
Browse to your C:\windows\fonts directory. All of your fonts should be listed there.

You wont be able to copy and paste those names into a .txt file though. Gonna have to do it the old fashioned way and type the names yourself unless someone out there knows a trick?
