It looks like FIXFONTS is not the solution to my problem. Since the problem is just that the FONTS: directory on my hard drive has grown beyond all reason, I'm not sure I understand what benefit I would gain from REN, could you explain ? Perhaps the best solution I can think of right now is to start a process of listing all the fonts I use in each program, and then comparing that to all the fonts I have in FONTS: . I certainly know that I do not use most of the original Workbench fonts. After I have decided what fonts I choose not to keep, I should delete those fonts (or font sizes) to reduce the overall size of the directory. After that culling process is complete, perhaps I should use FIXFONTS to ensure each .font file accurately reflects the sizes of that font which I have retained. Does that sound right ? Again, the only problem I have is the approximately 30 seconds it takes Videotitler to load the Font tables. That seemed like a long time so I assume I have a problem. Since I now want to add the new fonts found on the 1.3 Extras disk (all right, all right, all right maybe I want to add LOTS of new fonts) I assumed I had better start correcting the time delay in loading the fonts table.
