That looks like it will work great! Of course I have tons of fonts loaded and do spend a lot of time searching for the "right" font. I should use a font viewer more.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I'll be darned if I can remember the issue, but in EJ, or A&E, there was just an article about font management, and installing your fonts OFF the root, in order to speed up your computer. With 1450 fonts, when I find the article, I'll be doing it.

By the way, when I used Windows 98, I had trouble with too many fonts, however, with XP, I've been using 1400+ with no NOTICIBLE problems at all.

Dear Justin:

Your first guess was correct. The font Management article appeared in EJ (Sept. 02).

I don't know if everyone is aware of it but EJ's entire 29 year archive of articles is cross indexed and available on the web site. You can type in a key word such as "FONT" and it will display every article available on that topic. The following URL will take you directly to the key word search:

www.engraversjournal.com/searchtopics.php

Try it -- You'll like it!

Mike,

Now if only the cross reference would actually link to the article-------that would be the bomb!

but for now I will have to be content to reference my 10 year stash of EJ's

In my own experience, i have used what the font on www.myfonts.com and the problem with it is that it will only show you the fonts they sell. I have used other font recognition softwares but until now i've had the best results with abby fine reader (you can find it in download.com), it's a OCR software but it also recognizes fonts.

My best advice would be to use Bitstream Font navigator to sort and manage your fonts, it can work with adobe type manager so you can view your type 1 fotns too. You can sort them by style or format, making it easier to find a particular font. You usually get a version of font navigator with coreldraw since version 8.

I hope I've been useful.
