Gosh Brenda- I didn't have any problems with the Font Thing when I switched to Vista- never got an upgrade or patch etc. I only browse my downloaded fonts not my Windows font folder. Are you making sure to check view/open subfolders? Pretty sure you have ACDSee- they (Connie and Heidi at DigiScrapInfo) have some info on using ACDSee as a Font Manager but I haven't got that far yet

Here's the link.

You can use ACDSee to view you fonts and also categorize them. Just haven't figured out the above info yet.

I have downloaded Font Thing but do not know how to set up catigories & how to access the fonts once set up. I don't know where to find instructions on how to use this program. Do I create folders in "documwents" and then how do I get to the fonts in these folders? I must be missing something here which everyone else knows! Any help will be appreciated.

Off shoot - What categories do you use for your fonts? I've got mine seperated by commercial versus personal but need some sort of system ot help me find things faster within those categories.

I save all my downloaded fonts to a separate folder and don't install them. I have my Font thing set to browse this folder but you can browse any font folder. The program has a built in Help section- the far right button in the menu bar. I have vista and did have to download an update so the help menu would open.
