A recent issue of "Smart Computing" magazine in an article "Speed up Your
PC" suggests uninstalling some fonts. It says that Windows loads all
fonts into memory.
I believe that either the article is in error or you're possibly
misreading it. Windows XP only loads fonts as needed. HOWEVER - there are
some applications, notably most of Adobe's (Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat,
etc.) that DO load all your installed fonts when they start, and it is a
royal pain!

I think you're probably correct about Windows not loading all the fonts -
but that's what the magazine article says. I first saw an issue of Smart
Computing in a store and it was a good issue- but then I subscribed and I
find that most of the articles are elementary or in this case- just plain
wrong.
So.... that's why Photoshop and Acrobat take so long to load! and, I just
got a copy of Paintshop XI (now owned by Corel) and it too takes forever to
load- my early versions of that program loaded instantly.
