    I have 1400 fonts and I don't use any font manager at this point.

    I *only* have 608! I would have thought I had way more than that, but I did purge about a month ago. I still need to get rid of some others I never use! I would really be happy with Heather's collection and Kimberley Geshwin's collection. Oh...and 1942 report. Could never get rid of that one!

    A font manager sounds cool, but I doubt I'd ever take the time to categorize each one.

    hello ladies, my first post over here. I saw a link on FB. I figured I had a lot of fonts and when I checked, 911. Evidently not as many as some others here, I don't feel so bad. I really need to pare down. and Would consider a font organizer if I didn't have to go through all of them to classify or whatever the term. It would be really cool if there were an auto sort feature. #yesiknowimlazy.

    I dont know how many fonts I have, but I know its not over 100. Since my laptop came with tons of fonts I really havent added that many to my laptop except for about 20 which are my fav's.

    Welcome Joscie :)

    I love fonts also, but I'm more of a "play the field kind of girl", so I don't keep them installed. I do, however, have a core group of journaling fonts that I love, but only about 50 or so.

    All you windows girls...you can use the character map to easily see your installed fonts! it shows you a quick view of all the characters in the font, which I love because I often get those dingbat type fonts.

    Just click on the windows icon, and in the search field, type "char map" and it should pop up! (I use Win7, not sure how far back char map goes)...

    What a fun thread. I have 657 fonts installed on my desktop. But I have 10,000+ fonts that are not installed. I use AMP Font Viewer to use my fonts. They are not organized but it is on my to do list. But I generally use about 10 or so fonts all the time. Most of the fonts are for my designing so I keep them around.

    I had to giggle at the play the field kind of girl comment ;) and THANK YOU for the char map tip, I had no idea. I've pinned it to my task bar and can't wait to use it.

    AND Thank you to all you sweet ladies for your warm welcomes :)
