Hi,

I have about 6000 fonts installed on my computer. I recently noticed that I have a lot of fonts, of which the True Type as well as the Postscript versions, are installed. Now I would like to remove one version so as to reduce system load. Which version should I remove, the True Types or the Postscripts?

Also, I have noticed that Photoshop seems to 'hang' for long periods even when I have 2 GB of RAM installed. Someone said it was because of a bad font. Is that so? If so, how do I isolate the bad font? Does anyone know of a font doctor utility that can diagnose font problems?

Quick replies will be appreciated. Thanks.
