I want to install and audition about 100 new fonts. If I install among my current fonts, it'll be pretty cumbersome to pick the new ones out, so what is the best way for me to distinguish the new fonts? Should I temporarily pull my old fonts out of the folder first, just so the new will remain or is there a better way?

also what fonts need to remain in the font folder for windows operation?

Sort by creation date.


The system fonts.

But ... in your case you do not need to install your new fonts. Just download them and save in a separate new folder. When you want to use one double click that one and it will open in font viewer. A bug in Windows up to and including Vista causes a temporarily install as long as font viewer is open.
Then start the application you want to use and ... Bingo!

thanks
