I searched font-related threads you made in the past and found <a href="http://www.larabiefonts.com/lf_collection.html"><b>this</b></a>. 384 fonts in one package. The downside is you have got to fork out cash for it. :-\

Yeah. Xander has been searching for font packs for three years, sad isn't it XD Thanks, I guess the linux page ones work on Windows too. If so they should be good

And thanks meatpuppet, but yeah seem a bit expensive for only 300...

Lynxie has something he should set you up with. I think it's roughly 100mb worth of fonts. Something along the lines of 3-5000 of them?

They're all ttfs so you'll be able to just drop them into your fonts directory and be done

My laptop is a font whore, I downloaed i think 6-8k of fonts, you have to downlaod them one at a time, but if you have FireFox and the DownThemAll extension you can get all on a page in a few seconds.

This isn't the site I used, but it's got lots of fonts

I think doing that will do terrible things to Windows. There seems to be an upper limit on the number of fonts Windows can safely digest.

I found that out, after putting in loads of fonts, Windows stopped recognizing the basic ones, and any PDF I open is blank becuase Adobe cant find the font in all of the mess >_<

5000 fonts, my dear Miss Lapiz? That is a bit much. Your low-end guess is much closer.

I will send you a PM, Xander, with a link.

Edit: I have over three thousand fonts installed and my Windows is fine. D:

Thank you everyone! Think I should have enough now, perhaps I'll install a few at a time and see how it goes...

I personally would be more interested in getting hold of unicode/kanji capable fonts, but they're harder to find and weigh in at several MB each normally

Can't you download a Japanese language pack? (oh, wait, you use Linux right?)

**rubah** · 08-14-2006, 04:41 PM

He wants different fonts, so I'm sure he already has the ability to display them xD

**Xander** · 08-18-2006, 10:04 PM

I installed one of the packs but only up to D is showing up in photoshop. ARGGH. Am I gonna have to go deleting them? >__<
