    probably, having all those fonts is a huge drain on the system... one of the guys at jakool was saying that if all you are going to use them for is photoshop, then there's a folder in there... AND it doesn't bog down your system (apparently)

    A Windows recommends only having 200-300 fonts, I have about 800 and it lags sometimes

    Of course it will...If you were serious about getting 48,000 fonts in the first place then you're mad. Like Apocalypse said, 200 - 300 is the maximum number of fonts recommended as they do make your pc lag a hell of alot.
