Many thanks George ... I've been having computer problems ... I got back from Cheltenham - only to find my computer wouldn't start ... Eventually - after a good vacuum - & a twiddling with all the innerds - I did manage to get it going .... But - I ve been trying to sort stuff out ever since ... I currently have 800+ fonts - & each time Photoshop loads - it loads all of these .... It doesn't take "too-long" to open - but - I was/am having problems with the Font Tool - & it was "suggested" that I take out some of my fonts - move them to another folder & install a font manager to manage all the fonts that I would like to use in my programmes ... One question George - is a Font Viewer the same as a Font Manager .. ? ..... I'm not sure ... I can view the fonts by just opening them - but it's the managing" bit that I need - so that I can use them in Word or Photosphop - without having them in the Windows/Font folder ... I have - since I wrote - found out that it's my Spyware programme which is causing a dll conflict --- PC Tools are aware of it - & are working on finding a solution ... In the meantime - when I want to add Text to a file - I have to disable my Spyware programme --- and remember to enable it again afterwards .... Thanks again ... Sue I've sent Sue a copy of an excellent font viewer which can be downloaded here; http://tinyurl.com/9lxza it is free.
