This post (original post is here) is about organizing your computer fonts.
She says to NOT install all fonts (which I started to do already) - it slows down your system. She suggests if you have thousands of fonts to maybe have folders for the different types - san serif, blah blah. I don't have thousands (well, I'm not really sure)...and she suggests to get "the font thing" for organizing (which doesn't work with Vista) - which I also have...but I don't think I've used.
She says to unzip any fonts and put all fonts in their one location. I have all my fonts in 1 location, but I think I've kept them all in their zip file....hmmm. She says to print them out so you have them in 1 location and can look at them easily and see which ones you want to use.
Remember to back-up your font file - wouldn't it suck if you lost your fonts when/if your hard drive crashed?! I lost my personal printing font because our computer crashed...boo hoo.
Currently I only really use 2 or 3 of my available fonts, so I'm just going to leave it alone.
