richcornucopia Posted April 18, 2006 CID Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'm not sure, but I remember when I downloaded a zip with thousands of fonts my whole computer slowed down especially programs like word that had to load all of those fonts. Why don't you just choose the ones you like and delete the rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted April 18, 2006 CID Share Posted April 18, 2006 jeffwalker9999 ;Is it possible you DLed some spyware with the new fonts.For my OS fonts I only use .fon but most browsers have to use ttf so I have to use tff for it..I checked my font file & the Courier New Bold is 300K by itself so I can't see why a 20K file would cause a slow down.Do you have Adobe Reader?I ask incase if you don't it might effect the adobe fonts & it might not.

Swimmer Posted April 18, 2006 CID Share Posted April 18, 2006 I have about 5,500 and it is because windows has to start/scan all of them when it boots.. i would suggest removing a few thousand and see if that helps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted April 18, 2006 CID Share Posted April 18, 2006 Swimmer;Do you have 5,500 different fonts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted April 18, 2006 CID Share Posted April 18, 2006 yeah.. I think that is the correct count right now.. I use them for photoshop... take about 20 seconds for photo shop to load.. cause they are all initialized... but i can do some pretty sweet things...

j3grizz Posted April 19, 2006 CID Share Posted April 19, 2006 If you didn't want to delete all of the unused fonts you could create a folder and put them in it. That way the pc won't scan them on startup. And you will still have them if ya need um! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted April 19, 2006 CID Share Posted April 19, 2006 i guess u might have gotten some spyware - very possible, or its just a coincedence something else might be failing on you who knowz i have about 100 additional fonts loaded up in photoshop and it loads up fast, 3-4 sec.

cholla Posted April 20, 2006 CID Share Posted April 20, 2006 jeffwalker9999;I have Windows ME.I use msconfig & remove what i don't want starting up from the start up tab.There is a run key somewhere in the registry that has the start up programs.Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete see if there anything there after you start up that you don't need to start up.And remove it from start up.These are pretty generic instructions you find a lot of places. On the fonts I went to the Adobe site & found a couple of articles maybe they will help. http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/fontinstall/instructions_english.html http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/328607.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
