I just use the windows font manager. It works fine for me. Lest you suspect that statement, let me tell you I constantly download, install and remove fonts. As graphics designer, I have to be able to use fonts well. That was a hell of a task to learn, and one I'm still working on. I try to keep my installed fonts at about 500 (527 at the moment) even though I have win 2000 which allows unlimited fonts. Any more than that and the read and sort functions in Photoshop and Illustrator just slow down opening too much. I delete duplicate and similar fonts and try to keep as wide a variety as I can. I have constant access to 1000s of fonts because I subscribe to the alt.binaries.fonts.flood newsgroup, and believe me, I'm tempted to download all of them. The windows font manager has always been my program of choice for fonts. Win 2000 installs fonts automatically just by dragging them into the fonts folder. Deleting them removes them. However, it's true it isn't great if you want to preview all your fonts at once. If you go to Tudogs.com, though, you can likely find a freeware program to preview or print all your fonts out. I don't have a printer anymore, but when I did, I used to have a proggie to print out sheets of all the fonts I had for reference.
