But, I don't think you want to move 7500 of them to your Linux partition. Maybe you do, but any application that's going to use them is going to have to load the entire list each time and that will slow things down. My recommendation would be to move only the ones you really plan on using. If you need one of the other ones, you can always install it at a later date. BTW, the slow down due to a lot of fonts isn't just a Linux thing. Windows and Macs suffer from the same thing. Joeb
