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):

Alvin asked (in the Suggestion Box after reading this blog that listed the fonts in Vista): ...could
does anyone know if there is a "universal" font in vista like Arial Unicode MS was in XP?

i'm writing a multi-language game and don't want to have to load several fonts, one for each language.
thanks, steve
As I have mentioned before, this is not a good way to add language support.
But if you choose your font wisely can rely on the OS to find fonts for you that will work for every script the OS supports....
Do you know if there are any difference between the availability of fonts (families & sizes) on Pocket PC 2002, 2003 second edition, versus Windows Mobile 5 & 6 ?
Can you post them or refer readers to a documentation page?
Thanks, Mike
