I had also had the problem of slow application opening time when I used
MenuFonts 2.  Considering I have ~90 different font STYLES in my SE, it was
very slow.  Opening SuperPaint 1.0 went from ~8 seconds to 27 seconds!
Similar retardation of WriteNow 1.0 was apparent.  Also, since not all my fonts
have a default of 12 point, some of them looked rather strrange.  I called them
and they said that because MenuFOnts is drawing each font style to appear on the
Fonts menu, you just have to wait for it to get done!  I found this
unacceptable also, so I took MenuFonts off my system.

I later upgraded my version of SuitCase to version 2.0 (description of SuitCase
is best left to another posting, however, if you want to be able to have more
than the Mac limit of fonts (~200) and DAs (15), then you should get SuitCase
II!).  One of the nice little features they had was being able to see your
fonts in their true appearance.  You can only see them in 12 point (unlike
MenuFonts 2 where you can set the viewing point size), however, your programs
will open much more quickly than with MenuFonts2.  To use this feature, simply
hold down the option key when you pull down the font menu.  That's all there
is to it!

Oh, yeah.  You'll also like another program that comes with SuitCase II.  It's
called "Font Harmony."  It will resolve any font conflicts you may have on your
system.  (Note:  A font conflict appears when you select one font, and begin
typing but see a font, other than the one expected, apearing on the screen.)

I'd suggest looking into SuitCase II.

Good Luck.
