You remember me that whi have CoreDraw installed can use Bitstream font navigation, that do what you said: create groups of fonts to be used, but in truth this is a little old in new system... I have a lot of fonts here (Maybe almost 500) and all softwares load without problem... I think that in Win it create a cache list for the fonts... But never have a problem loading a TTF font in Carrara.
