Why so many fonts, you will hate it when trying to choose!!!!Believe me, I tried and had to delete "some".
I don't have a font book (showing examples of styles/alphabet) to choose from yet. It would be time consuming to create one.IN the mean time, it's easy in photoshop to select your live type, then hide selection...then highlight your type font style--and while highlighted and selected, you can use the arrow key to toggle up or down in your list, changing the preview of the selected active font. I can click down the list until I find one. It's faster then looking in the font folder and clicking on each one to get a preview (outside of photoshop).
That many fonts work for young intelligent people like DTD but when you get old and forgetfull my biggest issue is I do some art, covert the font, don't keep track of what it was (I recognize arial) and then I have to scroll through 500 fonts to find the one I used... lowers my hourly rate to a negative when I am charging a customer by the job....dlac
I just recently upgraded to font fusion 3. I really like the way you can load librays into Illustrator on the fly via an Illy menu.I also like the way it shows you similar families as you search, However on my intel mac & not the power PC one it keeps crashing the FM core. I have to totally unistall and re-install, Iv'e see several people complaining of this on PC in the online forums..Just FYI
