Where is the fonts folder in Office X sr 1

[Craig Hansen]

Hi

Word and Office programs take a while to start. It says 'optimising font
menu performance' on the screen.

There are sooo many fonts.

Hoe can I remove most of them to a foler on my drive and put them back later
if I want to... To make it start faster?

Regards

Craig

If you have a recent version of OS X, Panther or Tiger, use Font Book
to disable most of them. The best way is to make a set of collections,
and leave every one disabled except your "everyday" collection.

You might also look on versiontracker for fontfinagler. It is a piece
of sharaeware that tidies up your font caches. The caches are supposed
to make everything quicker, but they can get in a mess.

I have about 500 fonts here, with about 40 in "everyday". Word starts
from scratch in 3 seconds. It does not bother showing me the optimising
fonts message.

If you want to know more about font locations, read this:-

A bit more here:

In fact, go to apple.com, click support and type OS X fonts into the
search query. Hours of innocent fun. It will help get the smile off
your face from the Wallabies getting done like a dinner.

Since it's from the folks who make Suitcase & Font Reserve you have to
'condense' it a little, but the gist is pretty good.

Good Luck |:>)

As one who used both (years and years), I'd avoid them and go for
FontAgentPro.
Prior to Extensis buying FontReserve, it was tops, but they basically
bought it to pirate features for a new Suitcase (as yet unseen).
FontAgent Pro is by far the best.

Thanks for the insight, but note that I didn't recommend either product.

The site does, however, have a very good breakdown of how OS X handles
fonts, font access hierarchy and other useful info including step-by-step
manual organization for fonts.

Certainly they would prefer that you use one of their products, but that's
exactly why I suggested that the OP 'condense' the material.

Duly noted. The advantage of a program like FontAgentPro is that you
don't have to be concerned with how and where fonts are stored. It works
seamlessly in the background.
