After who knows how many years of using Word with plain vanilla Arial and Times New Roman, I'm getting into work that involves other typefaces, and I find that between Windows 7, Windows 10, Office Pro 2003 and Office Pro 2016, I have way too many fonts to keep track of. It doesn't appear that there's any way to disable them such that they remain installed but don't show up in the drop-down list of fonts in Word and Excel. Have any of you just taken a chain saw to the font list and deleted a bunch of them? If so, how did you decide which ones to delete?
I started pruning, but I think my font list is still much too big. Unfortunately, most of the ones I immediately selected for deletion can't be dleted, because Microsoft says they're system fonts.
