Lisa, Always place your fonts in ~username/Library/Fonts. Tampering with the fonts in the system directory is asking for trouble.
you probably shouldn't use that many fonts with Fontbook alone - it is more or less intended for home users, not graphics pros. It may be time to think about investing in a commercial font managament utility: <http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?os=Mac+OS+X&keywords=font+management&button.x=16&button.y=14> Hope this helps.
