1st You can never have too many fonts! 🙂 2nd There are quite a few people who wish they had your problem of having a nice handy harddrive where you can store fonts till your hearts content and conplain about how long it takes to read the directory. Here is what I suggest you do (it works well for me): Create a few subdirectories in your Harddrives fonts dir. I suggest you make mayabe 'Video' 'Printer' and 'System' dirs or 'Large' and 'Small' ,whatever, then move all the .font files and coresponding dirs into the heading under which it fits. Then you add a line in your startup-sequence Assign Fonts: sys:fonts/System, this will make your default fonts whichever ones you put in the fonts/system dir. Now before you use an application which uses large display fonts like VideoTitler change your font assignment to fonts/Video, or before you run a DeskTop Publishing package or graphic wordprocessor you change your font assignment to Fonts/Printer. If you change fonts often you might want to create a set of script files to change the fonts: assignment for you, set their S protection bit high, and put them in your C: dir. Then you can just type Video and your fonts will be assigned to video, of course you could also use Alias, or if you use Workbench you could attach Icons to the script files using IconX.
