fonts and photoshop

Hi all

I was looking for specific font and I hang up downloading thousands of
fonts, anyway now Photoshop can not open because of to many fonts so
my question is:
if I delete all the fonts were I can find the fonts that usually
coming with windows.
I try to look in windows xp CD but no like.
Any suggestion

Thanks

You have made a lot of work for yourself. My font file is probably
80mb or so but photoshop still comes up in reasonable time but then I
have a fast processor.

I suggest that you select the ones you don't want and delete those.
You do that in the font file where you installed them.

Incidentally if you have IrfanView (if not get it, it is Free Of
Charge).

You call up the font icon from the settings/controlPanel.
Hit enter on the first font and IrfanView will quickly show you the
font and samples of printing. Then hit the right arrow and it will go
though all the fonts - some of them will surprise you.

Delete the ones you don't want or have a little patience - I have seen
Photoshop take some considerable time to load fonts on slow machines
but is have never seen it hang.

Can't I just delete them all and download it from someware and install
it.

There are programs available that you can activate and deactivate fonts as
needed and does not eliminate the fonts from your hard drive. A simple
click will activate or deactivate due to your preference. I have been
using Adobe type Manager but it does not work with xp unless there is an
upgrade.

Not unless you your Operating System to stop working. Take the font
Marlet for example. That font is solely used to provide all the button
symbols etc for your windows. Want to try closing anything down with
no Minimise/Maximise/Close button, and no file/Edit menu because
you've deleted the system display fonts?

Bitstream Font Navigator, if a bit clunky, does the job nicely.
However, if you put all your fonts in the Windows fonts folder to
start with, you're asking for trouble. I only keep a small subset of
necessary fonts in there. Everything else is right next door in the
"Ffonts" folder and is moved in and out on the fly using Bitstream.
