I need to resolve this disappearing fonts problem I have on my XP machine with photoshop. Basically what’s happening is once my system memory is starting to get taxed, i lose a bunch of fonts in photoshop. this is particularly annoying because i usually have a number of files open, and it’s a real inconvenience for me to restart the program. I researched this problem and found the resolution might be a font manager, so I downloaded Sue’s Font thing, but this isn’t the most intuitive program. I’m fine with "activating" and "deactivating certain fonts at a time, but it ain’t easy with this program.

I have about 1500 font files in c:\windows\fonts\. what is the easiest resolution here, to delete a bunch of fonts? I find it a little ridiculous that windows/photoshop can’t seem to manage this right, and i’m certainly not going to spend any money on a Font Manager to fix what appears to me as a program flaw. However, if i lose my freaking fonts one more time when i’m right in the middle of trying to get something delivered, i might put my fist through the wall. this is a huge, frustrating pain in the ass.

any suggestions?
