Just for Kicks

Continuing my series on discovering all the fonts bundled with the various software I have installed on my computer, I fired up a virtual machine and installed Serif PhotoPlus X3 to see what fonts it bundled.

None.

I guess Serif doesn’t share Adobe’s philosophy that photo and painting apps need fonts. As I blogged about before, Photoshop CS3 includes 120 fonts.

Serif PagePlus PDF 8.0, which I got from some free offer or other a while back, comes bundled with quite a lot of fonts. The fonts do not have any information about the designer or copyright holder included in them, other than that they were made with Fontographer 4.1.

The fonts installed with PagePlus PDF 8 are:

Interesting. Softmaker Office 2008 apparently also installs fonts. I wonder whether their free Office 2006 also does this. I’ve not installed that before, but I may do so in a virtual machine just to see.

The fonts included with the Office 2008 suite, that are copyrighted by Softmaker, are:

The fonts installed with Softmaker Office 2008 that don’t seem to have any copyright information are:

This is part of my series on the list of fonts installed by the various programs I have on my system. The rest of the series, so far:

Fonts bundled with Adobe Photoshop CS3
Fonts bundled with Corel Painter Essentials 4

[Edit: added some newer posts on this topic to the list above.]

Surprisingly, Corel Painter 4 Essentials does not install many fonts into the Windows Fonts directory, just the following:

Tiger Rag LET.ttf (Tiger Rag LETRegular)
tt0121m.ttf (Balloon Lt BT Light from Bitstream)
tt0728m.ttf (Balloon Bd BT Bold from Bitstream)

I still have a lot of fonts unaccounted for on my system. Since few programs list the fonts installed along with them, I have to do it the hard way the way I did for Photoshop CS3.

My quest for the sources of the fonts on my system continues…

I’m still on my search for the source of the large number of fonts that seem to be on my system. Unlike Microsoft, which has published the list of fonts included in Windows and Office thus making it easy for me to track some of the fonts, Adobe does not publish any list of fonts for its CS3 programs, only its CS4 programs though it doesn’t break it down according to program but just lists the entire suite and separately, InDesign.

So I fired up my virtual machine and installed Photoshop CS3 to it, this time making sure I kept a list of fonts previously on the machine before installing. Then I compared it to the fonts present after installation. So, for anyone interested, here’s the list of fonts that come with Photoshop CS3:

Yep, it’s a very long list. And there’s more not in the list above. I remember when I registered my copy of Photoshop, I was given an additional font family:

HypatiaSansPro-Black.otf
HypatiaSansPro-Bold.otf
HypatiaSansPro-ExtraLight.otf
HypatiaSansPro-Light.otf
HypatiaSansPro-Regular.otf
HypatiaSansPro-Semibold.otf

To recap, there are 120 fonts included with Photoshop CS3, plus an additional 6 fonts when you register. No wonder I have hundreds of fonts on my system without even installing any free font.

Ha. I was right when I guessed in my earlier post today that Microsoft Office came with a whole bunch of fonts.

Microsoft has a list of fonts installed along with Office 2007. As you can see, it is a very LONG list, much longer than those supplied with earlier versions of Office.

They also have a list of fonts installed with Windows XP, and according to their Fonts for Windows page, Vista added Calibri, Cambria, Consolas, Constantia, Candara, Corbel and Meiryo. Windows 7 has 40 more fonts over and above that.

Okay, so far so good. I’ve accounted for a whole bunch of fonts that I found on my system. But there’re lots more.

Like everyone else, when I create a presentation, I like to make it look good, and I often do so by using a variety of fonts. Maybe too many, but it’s fun. Anyway, I just realized that I have loads of fonts on my system. I mean literally hundreds. I don’t know how many. Or maybe nearly a thousand.

How did so many get to my system? I didn’t buy one of those font packages you see everywhere with “15,000 fonts” or something. I have a feeling a lot of the programs I installed included fonts with them. I think I may need to track them down, so that when I upgrade my computer, I know which software I need to reinstall. Otherwise when I reopen my old files, all the fonts will be wrong because I won’t have them on my new computer.

I have a feeling Windows came with a lot of fonts itself. And maybe Office too.
