I was talking with Simon Daniels the other day and I asked whether there was some information about the fonts that can be used for each of the various languages and scripts supported by Windows.

He told me there was not, except for a spreadsheet he had (which he sent to me) which had a nice full table in it.

I asked whether there was anything that customers could look at.

His reply, I don't know to quite what to do with. He said they can look at my blog post that contains a copy of that table. :-)

I guess I walked into that one....

Anyway, here it is.... enjoy!

Some people will notice that there are:

  • some fonts that are new to Windows starting with Vista;
  • a few fonts that have been removed in Vista;
  • a few fonts that existed in previous localized version of Windows only -- something that reportedly will not be happening anymore starting with Vista....
