In the past (in old Mac OS times), we had applications loading time and memory consumption issues when more than one hundred fonts were loaded. I think, it's mostly a thing of the past these days :-) > Or is it just to > de-clutter the font panel? (i.e. hiding the font) This is the important reason because some applications provides their own menu or panel which quickly gets unusable when you have more than few dozen of fonts. Another reason was to solve font conflicts. I don't know if this still holds. At least I haven't experimented such problem for a long time. > And as a side note: > If anybody has any suggestions, comments, or criticisms, I would be > very > glad to hear them.
