  Does this software solve the problem of only half my font collection appearing in the Photoshop font dropdown list?

  It depends on the exact cause of the problem. It could be that the Adobe font cache is corrupt, that one or more of your fonts are corrupt, or that the number of installed fonts is simply too much for either Windows or Photoshop to handle. MainType can't fix a corrupt cache, but it CAN detect corrupt fonts. We typically recommend that you have no more than 500 fonts installed, and on older systems with limited memory (Windows Me with 128 MB RAM, for example) you should have no more than 100 active fonts. To ensure you can use as many fonts as you like, you can use MainType to organize your fonts into groups and quickly load or unload them as needed.

  A great tool for loading fonts in groups depending on the purpose. One set for formal reports, another set for creative work, etc. Load on the fly keeps the number of core fonts down.
  
  It also helped me identify that I had the same font loaded under two names -- one from Bitstream and one from Adobe.

  Because I used fonts on my websites and Photoshop, I need a viewer and manager instead of always saying "use font" to see what the selected font looks like.
  
  I have 1760 fonts gathered over the past 17 years. I am lucky that the files are not corrupt. MainType detected all of them and has let me manage them. I "mainly" like being able to view them all and make my selections for the task at hand.
  
  This program has saved me a lot of time, money and frustration. I bought this from Bits about six or seven months ago. Lucky for those of you who did not get it back then. Snap it up while you can.

  Hi Folks,
  
  You can find a very helpful discussion:

  That leads to a very positive review:

  For those who can use a solid and strong font manager this should be the way to go.
  
  Shalom,
