I have about 10,000 fonts, and I don't really want to install them all on my Win XP SP2 system because in the past, having large font libraries installed slowed down my system when starting certain programs. I was under the impression that Adobe Type Manager would allow you to load only the necessary fonts at any one time, thus speeding up your system. Reading a few of the threads on this forum, it seems as if ATM is not necessary under Win XP. Is this the case, even with large font libraries such as mine?

Also, how would I go about getting ATM? I've been looking for a trial version of it to see if it's something I actually need, and I can't find it.

Thanks in advance for your help.
