In the early NT days, just having a large number of fonts installed GREATLY decreased performance overall.
Is this still the case on Windows XP Pro SP3? I have a client that would like to install several CDs worth of fonts onto their system and I advised some caution. They would rather have the fonts on the system instead of having to fumble around the cd's to find them while working.
Any differences if the user were to go to Windows 7?
What do you all say?
