I tried an experiment on my Fonts folder; chopped it from 295 files

to boot speed. So I've put them all back.

Now that's an interesting bit of news. My info on that must be out of
date now :-(

I'll load myself with all the fonts that I expect to use.

THanks

I can't find any reference to "loading fonts" in my boot log. I suspect
they simply get loaded as called for by individual apps.

Removing fonts from the fonts folder used to speed up Mac OS computers. I
don't recall it ever working on Windows.
