I had to fight Gretchen
tooth & nail to get her to uninstall 90% of the fonts she never used. Half of
them (in my opinion) looked similar anyway. What's one good way to compare one
installed font against another? Well, you could "open" the fonts you wish to
compare (directly in the Fonts folder). But a simpler way might be to open up
WordPad (or any other RTF-capable word processor) and type in the same word/sentence
(each one with a different font). It's quick, easy, and pretty straightforward;
I can see exactly what the differences between font faces are immediately.
