How would it be possible to know which fonts came with my Vista?

A friend used my cumputer to write an essay and recklessly added random fonts
onto it. Now I am desperate to find which ones he added and which ones were
there prior to having him add new ones.

Hi Carlito,

If you look in "C:\Windows\Fonts", right click on the suspect font and click Properties. This will show you the date created. If the date is for when your friend was messing with it, then that would be one that was added.

I do not know why MS didn't give the option to select the date from the "View > Choose Details" for the columns.
