Hello all,

I was curious if there is a way to display the date
something, specifically fonts, were installed. I dumbly
installed all the fonts from a clipart program (something
like 500+ fonts) and need them off the computer as it is
annoying to shuffle through all of them to get to the
ones I want.

There is no option to uninstall the fonts in the program,
so if I can see when the fonts were installed I can
remove the ones I don't use or want. It currently
displays the 'Date Modified' which is absolutely no help
in this as it shows when the file was modified, probably
by the creater, and not then it was installed.


Thanks!!

Check the "Date Modified" stamp of the application files and see if
this helps to determine which fonts belong to the clipart software.
 
Well, the "Date Modified" just has the dates the fonts
were made by the creator, not when it was installed on
the computer - I installed the program a couple of months
ago, but the dates on "Date Modified" range from 1995-
2003.

Is there a font program that might make this easier?

Thanks for the help,

Brian

Often Date Modified reflects the date the file was added to the local
computer. Occasionally, the newly written files maintain the date from the
original files. When this happens, use Search and the "Date Created" filter.
