Peter,
	Yes, I know, but "quickly" is not how I'd describe having to
weed through those fonts. I've put it off too long, and I know there are
many I will never use, but others are part of Unitype's Global Writer
(freebie courtesy of Languages of the World, a near-giveaway CD I got
for $29.95 that handles scripts of "51 languages", though the editor
sure isn't XyWrite or Nota Bene). Other are fonts for IE5 that I want to
keep around. I'm abusing a fairly fast system with all that baggage, but
it hasn't bogged me down enough yet to drive me to actually houseclean...

	Dorothy
