PresentationFontCache.exe Description :

Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache Service. Service found by default in Windows Vista, but also found on Windows XP SP2 PCs and Windows 2003 servers where the .NET Framework 3.0 application development environment has been installed (via a Windows Update or by an application which needs it). Windows Presentation Foundation, previously called WinFX, is the graphical subsystem of the .NET Framework 3.0, an essential component of Windows Vista, and is the default method of rendering information and visual effects on the screen in Windows Vista. In Windows XP/2003 it is only used when a developer has specifically developed an application using the .NET Framework. As per Microsoft's own description, this particularly service "optimizes performance of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications by caching commonly used font data". In other words, this service preloads into memory all the fonts that are regularly used both by Windows and the programs you regularly run so that when information is being displayed, the speed of output to the screen is optimal because the fonts being used by the information being displayed, are available instantly from memory rather than from the hard disk.

PresentationFontCache.exe Recommendation :

Leave alone to ensure optimal performance of the displaying of information. In Windows Vista this service automatically starts up at boot up as the whole of Vista is developed in the .NET Framework 3.0. In Windows XP/2003, the default startup mode of this service is Manual - if a program loads which uses the .NET Framework 3.0, then this service will be started automatically as needed.
