Font Question .


Ok i have like 800 fonts in my windows directory but im sure theres not 800 i can select in photoshop

know 800 is extreme but i would like at least a couple hundred can anyone help me ?

The fact you have 800 fonts means you are either very rich or you didn't pay for them.

If the latter, be aware of the fact many downloadable fonts are not of the best quality and that many Photoshop problems have been attributed to corrupt fonts.

Get yourself a Font Management utility and weed out the little/never used ones. Load only the fonts you really need then if you do experience problems, finding the culprit won't be to difficult.

Fonts are often included with software packages. Many years ago I
bought CorelDraw 4, this eventually reduced drastically in price and
in the end was practically a giveaway. On one of the CD's was a set of
1,000 fonts.
