organizing fonts (Help)

[Candihearts]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice.
I want to move all my fonts off of my computer harddrive to a external harddrive, and I was just thinking what is the best way to do this. since owning Surecutsalot I have become obsessed with fonts and now my computer, surecutsalot, and even the font thing take forever to load. I know it is because I have so many fonts taking up room.

so here is my dillema I know when I move my fonts to my external harddrive then I am going to have to have it plugged in anytime I want to use a font. And I use photoshop all the time (with fonts) is this going to mess up photoshop?

sorry I know that my typing is choppy just a little worn out today after school all week, but any advice on how someone would go about doing this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks~Patti~

there are certain fonts that you have to keep on your computer to make Windows work. there is a list (you can google it) about what fonts you have to keep on your computer. I made a font folder on my desk top and keep my extra fonts in there. It doesn't take long for my computer to load up since my fonts don't load until I open the font I want and import it into SCAL by using the refresh key in SCAL.
