Sooner or later this is an issue that every graphics software enthusiast is going to have to face. Many of the graphics software programs install hundreds of fonts onto your system. Often the fonts are visual duplicates of fonts you may already have under a different name.
Chances are, it's font overload.
Most of the information you read about fonts in Windows will say that Windows can handle as many as 1,000 fonts. This may be true, but you are going to experience a decline in system performance much earlier than when you hit this number. To further compound the problem, Windows does not tell you when you have reached the limit of installed fonts and it will continue to let you think you are adding fonts to your system when in fact, you are not. The fonts will appear to be installed because they are in the folder, but they may not appear in the font menu of your programs. The fonts are unusable because you have reached your system's limit.
