I'm a fontaholic, and I can still slap a B&W graphic or logo into a TrueType / OpenType font at a moment's notice (after $7 via PayPal). How many fonts do you have installed on your system(s) right now? Double-check with the super-spiffy, totally free, cross-platform compatible STC Font Browser. This link is a prime example of the type of money-saving resources I uncover for Gnomies every single weekday. My newsletter has been like a blog for the past eight years. True.
Use Optimize 3.0 to clear out your registry, and get rid of pesky errors that can threaten the stability of your machine. It's also easy to use to kill off unneeded processes that may be hogging up your memory - and will help speed up your boot times.

I went to the font browser and found out I have 264 active fonts on my computer. I couldn't believe it – amazing stuff.

hey chris, speaking of font browsers let your viewers try THE FONT THING. http://members.ozemail.com.au/~scef/tft.html
I am a designer by profession and this saves me a LOT of time and the nifty thing about this is that you can uninstall the fonts on your system directly from this software. You can also set a number of different parameters on viewing your fonts.

Tiboy: Thats what extensis suitcase does. I can view and create virtual folders of fonts and enable and disable them at will. They are all on a seperate HD and don't clutter up my OS drive.

I have 31,284 fonts, about 9000 or so on my system right now, around 2500 active, 10 that I've created, or am still working, one that's halfway decent. One and a half available for download:

Give me about 50 years and I'll probably be good at this. I didn't understand why fonts were so expensive until I started creating some of my own. Now I wonder why anybody would sell them so cheap. :)
