Bettina asked via the Contact link:
Hello Michael,do you have any idea if there is an entire list of system fonts that come with windows vista?I could find some of them, according to the articles, these are apparently not all of them: Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Constantia, Corbel, Nyala, Segoe UI, Segoe print Segoe scriptwould be great if you would know some more :-)thx, bettina
I do not know of any official list anywhere, but I talked to some of the Typography folks and Simon Daniels gave me a list of the 290mb and over 712,000 glyphs contains in the Vista fonts.
Here goes (I am not including the bold/italic info, for the sake of brevity):

Marlett is not Western font, it is pictographic font used for very core GUI signs in non-themed windows. Those signs are Close cross, Minimize feather, Maximize rectangle, Checkbox check etc.
The font has nothing to do with West or Westerns. It is just as much non-cinematographic as font can be.
You are correct. The list actually came from a PowerPoint deck that had it there, for some reason -- it probably should have gone either under "Core" or "Other", all things considered....
i love meiryo.
most readable japanese Cleartype font ever.
i think it need more tuning though.
I'm wondering, does MS make these fonts? Or are they made by some font foundry? Oh, and do you know of any MS blogs that are font related?
You can actually look at the Font properties and see that many of them come from different font foundries throughout the industry.
For font blogs, I have a link to fontblog from my i18n blog list?
Hello --
I am having trouble finding the font for dotum. I would like to find it for a pc that has windows 2000. If not then for window xp pro. Please let me know at your earliest convenience, thank you.
"DFKsi-SB" is a typo. It should be "DFKai-SB" ...

Allan provided me with my daily scare back in the end of September with a note to me via the Contact
Neopool is a font for vista? Oris everything else...
What are the list of fonts that can be safely removed from Windows Vista? Thanks.
Sounds like one for the suggestion box?
I looked anywhere I can at the internet but I can't find the list.
Alvin,
I am not disagreeing with you. I am suggesting that if you want me to blog about it at some point that you put it in *my* suggestion box.
