BUG in Font selection/dropdown? Its super slow!

[schmar]

Background: I have ~800 fonts (various styles included) installed so that is actually not much - some of my collegues have 2000+ installed which is also pretty normal in an advertising agency but with every update its getting worse: When I edit one text and change a font, it takes almost 4 seconds to show up the font-list. Well, yes on the next time it is faster but when I then search for another font it takes forever to display the list again! So I think this is because of the rendering of the font-style preview which is actually totally useless for me. The bigger the screenresolution, the longer the font-list, the longer the rendering of the font-preview takes and the slower the workflow is. Sucks! Is there an option to disable this? Thanks for any hint

Hi,

If you could give me any details of which Photoshop version are you using and operating system are you on. Meanwhile you can try to Troubleshoot fonts issues in Adobe Photoshop CC, 2015, 2014, CS6, CS5 Let me know if this helps!

Hi

You can turn off Font Preview by going Type > Font Preview Size and selecting None

Yikes! 800+ fonts! I work in a place designing ads too and we have 2000+ fonts,  but we have a 3rd party font manager called Font Agent Pro,  which allows us to activate or deactivate fonts because I try to not have more than 500 different fonts (including the various font styles) active at a time because it can really bog things down immensely.  I knew a guy who would get so aggravated with his computer,  because he would have every single font activated, but not understand why his computer was bogged down.  I echo the statement about turning font previews off.  But if you have the ability to deactivate certain fonts,  I would take advantage of that too and deactivate the fonts you know you aren't going to use.
