How many is TOO Many Fonts?

Aren't fonts like paper, you can never have enough! I have that cd but didn't look at any of the other programs on it. Now I'm going to have to check it out. Thanks Linda.

I have 1,279 installed...and I don't have enough yet.

I can't find my CD from Scrapbook Answers.....waaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to go on a serious hunt for it as that's what I'd planed to do this evening, go through it.....shoot!

OMG...wow Theresa! I don't feel so bad now...LOL There were 101 fonts on the CD, and I didn't install all of them!

With windows I read that 1000 fonts are the maximum amount you should consider because when you use programs that make your fonts available (word process, graphics, etc.) each font has to be loaded to memory and it will seriously slow your system down after that point. The optimal amount is no more than

I just checked. You only have 425? I have 3x that.......1295.

I need to go through mine to see which ones I can get rid of. There's a lot I'll never use.

So kill the windows machine, get a mac, get suitcase.. I have over 6000 fonts... suitcase allows you to temporarily "install" them so you can use them then turn them off again when your done so they aren't using your system resources. Great application.. you can group them according to anything you want and make "sets"... very VERY handy... :D

LOL

That makes sense, but there are sooo many out there! I'll have to find the "delete" button and get rid of some that I will never use, so I can find more!

I think I would get lost in that suitcase thing, with so many to choose from! LOL

Heck no! (can you tell this northern girl is getting acclimated to the south??) Fonts are like paper! You can never have too many! The one you need is not the one you have! LOL Jacqui

Then it is time to get another hard drive--just to store the fonts! LOL

YUP! and then there are variations on your favorite fonts! My newest is purkage!!! WOOOT! LOLOL

There is a freeware font loader that allows you to install or remove fonts at will. I have been using it for quite awhile. You could still keep your extra fonts!

Geesh, and ya'll talk about MY PAPER!!

And Jacqui, it is not what you NEED, it is what you WANT!!!!!
