If I were you, I would never have more than like 50-100 fonts installed at one time. They all remain in computer memory, and will hog your system resources, making your computer slow.

Adobe Type Manager is a great way to manage your fonts, I'm not sure if it works with truetype fonts, but it can keep adobe format fonts out of memory, yet installed. Then you can swap back and forth from whatever fonts you want and make sets of fonts that are accessible to load at any time.

Yankeeben14, I've been watching your posts on the boards since you first came. Just to inform you that almost none of your posts are useful. Though some are funny, 25 posts in just 2 days??

Not to say that you can't post around, but we like constructive posts around here ;)
