So.. the wife and I know just enough to be dangerous!
She decided to add some 6000 fonts to the system by dropping them in the font folder. I come to realize this when i notice the entire system intermittently freezing & running slow as molasses. Suspecting the obvious (and in an attempt to spare myself hours of sifting through fonts!) I figured i could simply delete all of the fonts and the system would retain the required ones (like they would on a mac).
...this, of course, was an epic fail! A good deal of fonts remain but things are pretty messed up in some programs... even navigation seems affected! What do I do folks?
A new user account works surprisingly fine though (...I assumed messing with the font folder would affect all users?) ... any help here would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
