[comp.sys.mac.apps] Elephantine system folder

gabe@sol.ctr.columbia.edu (Gabe Wiener) (10/20/90)

Help!  My system folder is growing to outrageous proportions.  I've added
so many fonts to my system that the folder is now over 16 megabytes full!

The difficulty is that I'm running Type Reunion, Master Juggler, ATM, and I'm
sending fonts to the laserwriter, and all three of those tasks require that
the fonts be in the system folder itself. 

The problem is that it takes several MINUTES for the folder to open!  Any
thoughts, folks?  I'm going nuts.  Is there any way I can put all those
fonts into a folder of their own, and still have the printer driver, ATM,
etc. be able to find 'em?

Please email responses.  I'll summarize if appropriate.
