Windows Vista - Fonts

Display Font Details in Control Panel

SUMMARY: Change the Windows Vista Fonts Control Panel settings to display more details.


 

After accessing Windows Vista's Fonts Control Panel, do you wish the list of fonts appeared as they did under Windows XP?

1. In the Fonts Control Panel, click the pull-down next to "Views" on the toolbar and select "Details".

2. You should now see four columns:

* Name
* Font Type
* Size
* Font file names

If you only see the column "Name", right-click on the column header and check "Font type", "Size", and "Font file names" to display the other columns.

3. Right-click the "Name" column header one more time and select "Size All Columns to Fit".
