Adding More Fonts - Performance Issue

Hi, everyone,

Need some advice about installing additional fonts in XP.

I am using XP (Home) SP2 on a Intel P4 2.8 Mhz with 1 Gig memory (and 400+ Gig Hard-drives, 100 Gig spare), and would like to install a lot of (300+) new fonts. I remember in the bad old days of Windows, adding fonts of that magnitude would increase time very significantly at start-up of Windows (e.g. Win 3, Win 95, etc).

Is there any noticeable performance penalty for XP now?

Appreciate your advice.

** if there is any difference in the above description of my current hardware/software config and the description on my signature line, the former prevails.

I've read many times that removing fonts is considered a performance tweak...Will you really use all 300 fonts?

You could install em and see how it goes with your setup and make your decissions from there.
