Sorry. > <Exasperated> I do not have the font scanning problem, but was wanting to understand more about what is going on. Like Rob, I do not understand why people would be swapping fonts all the time either. I have 25 font families on this machine, and feel pretty certain that I could bin at least 50% of them and never know the difference! I do not have a separate Font Management utility either.
