Just my $2 (adjusted for inflation). I have over 10,000 fonts. A couple of hundred (mostly ones I've gotten from Ascender Fonts and those included with XP) are in C:\Windows\Fonts. All my others are in a separate directory which The GIMP re-reads every time I open it. Sure it takes longer to open GIMP by doing that, but I like having all my fonts available all the time. It generally takes a minute or two for The GIMP to open as it reads all those fonts, and it can be a pain to find the one I really want, but the extra wait and work just makes it all the sweeter when I complete a project. Unfortunately The GIMP is the only program I'm aware of that allows you to specify an extra, alternative font directory. -- PIT
