Well I was using TFT but it seems to struggle with 3 thousand fonts (a
freeware CD) and won't go near the 6,000 I gathered together from all my
CD's.

I'm sure I have dupes - hence the need for font management, but need a
tool that can handle 5k+ fonts without grinding to a halt.

I'm currently trying Typograf
http://www.neuber.com/typograph/index.html

which seems robust enough, but I'm not sure. Just wondered If there was
something even better.

oh well.

laborious sorting or CBA - how to decide?

hmmm.....

Thanks anyway folks.
