| 3000+ Font Pack This was posted at H3F by a member named Solid, and I thought it would be very helpful for the community over here as well. H3F Thread Direct Rapidshare Link *All credit for this goes to Solid at H3F* |

| Downloading this affected my browser fonts (FireFox) and my AIM program.
In addition, it really bogged down my system on startup.
Be sure your computer is capable of handling these and be aware it may have adverse affects on at least these two programs.
I have 768 megs of ram and a 2.4 ghz processor.
If you do decide to try it anyway, create a system restore point beforehand.
(Always a safe practice) While it didn't reverse the d/l, it did reverse the extraction and placement of the file.

| If you try and download that many fonts and install them expect your PC's to be crashing in the very near future. |

All it is is a .zip file with them all zipped, and u just extract them, then put them into ur fonts. I dont believe it can cause a PC to crash, unless u got a super shitty one.
And Rico, I dno wat the problem with urs is because I used Firefox and got them downlaoded with no problems. Also, in tools > options and in the content tab there is a font thing.

| Irken was sort of right. I don't know if it's the quantity or the implimentation though.
This font pack isn't causing my computer to crash or lag however.
Since I installed it, my forum text is all switched around and quoted posts are now in an illegible font. In addition, some of my previous fonts no longer function in PS. On top of that, my aim program no longer functions correctly.
Whitewater, if you can check with the original thread and find out how to reverse it, I'd appreciate it. I'm not registered over there, and have no intention of doing so anytime soon.
If not, I'm sure I'll figure it out on my own. It'd just be easier with a quick how-to. |

But I'd rather download fonts individually for quality and not quantity! |
