Font Mananger!

I have TOO many fonts, and its really slowing down my computer. Is there anyway that I can improve this with a font manager. Does photoshop have a plugin or something that it loads only the fonts that I want rather than ALL of them?

Creds will be given to helpful answers.

 

yes im interested in this too

 

If not here is an idea for a add-on or possibly bundled with PS3.

On boot you get dialog on which 'Font profile' to load. Obviously there will be 'default', and 'all'. Aside from that, you should be able to make your own font profiles with the fonts you want. You should be able to open multiple profiles at once.

Someone should submit that to adobe.

 

Just delete them, I think theres a font managar somewhere where you can view font by font, and deleting them.

 

start>run> fonts

but i just want the defualt fonts dont really wana try deleting them all just incase i end up with no fonts

 

You guys are really not getting my point.

 

Just did a lil google of a plugin but found nothing relevant.

 

just open up word, try them. delete ugly ones, done!

Its not a matter of deleteing them. I want them ALL still, just don't want them to load with photoshop all at once.

 

once you add them there automatically going to appear on PS so no point in stopping it. Dude seriously its slowing down you pc. ONLY good advise to do it delete them seriously they might looks cool and all but i wouldn't let some text font slow down my pc.

can i see how much text you have in your folder. this way i can tell how much ram it might be taking away depending on your pc

 

photoshop is gonna load all fonts that are installed in the Windows/fonts folder im assuming you are using windows and using a font manager will help I use X-fonter and it will let you load/unload the fonts you need as you need them

Merged Post:

just have a seperate folder on your computer with your download fonts then load them into windows that way

 

that would work i guess, but every time he wants to use one he will have to drag it to fonts and either way he will take u space

 

Thanks alor guys. Red Alert, I guess X-Fonter will do me good. I will just enable the fonts I want to use THEN open up photoshop. Thanks alot.

Again, lets all send adobe a email stating a feature request

 

Yea it gets annoying for me too since I downloaded like 1000 fonts in a .rar folder and installed them and God damn it's a pain in the ass finding a good font when I open photoshop.
