QotD: Fonts

Question: How many fonts do you have?

My Answer: On the Mac I only have 98 fonts. All but 3 or 4 of those are the standard fonts that come with the OS. And they are all really nice fonts, much better than the pitiful default selection on Windows. On the Windows machine at work we have about 1,600 fonts. It’s used for laying out trophies and nametags, and sometimes people want a particular font, so it’s a good idea to have as many as possible. Even though it makes finding any particular font a pain in the butt. And makes all the programs start really really slowly.

  1. I have approximately 3000 fonts, give or take a few. I rarely have more than 50 installed, but always keep them in alphabetized folders so I can find them if I need them.
