View Single Post - Will lots of fonts make my computer run slower?

I've read that it really doesn't matter until or unless you start having over like 200, 300 fonts or so. They're all loaded at bootup, but each one is like what, 60, 70kB or so? After a while, all those hundreds of fonts do add up and slow down the boot process.
