I've not had to think about speeding up OS9 in years. Um, zap the PRAM? :-P Seriously, I don't remember, but I'm glad you're still getting use out of the old computer. @Matt – Wow man, OS9!

I noticed that some of them did not disable, that is cool. I wonder if one is needed if my mac will tell me to enable it.. I have a great ppc 9600 that I use at the office for basic functions and it is dragging so slow and I have reloaded its OS9, any idea how to speed it up?

It's tempting to have all the fonts enabled at once, but it sure costs ya! I’m glad you’ve found this helpful. It’s tempting to have all the fonts enabled at once, but it sure costs ya!

I have been getting really frustrated with my 12 month old mac that is used for the most basic functions (itunes, mail, safari & ms word only) and this has had a DRAMATIC difference. Thank you so much. Wow is all I can say!

I have no idea about fonts, disabled everything and found that the critical ones can't be disabled anyway via fontbook. To be sure I enabled the ones that showed up as critical in apple's system fonts list but could be disabled. so far no trouble. thanks, that really helped.

I started with 774 active fonts in Font Book. Now I have about 80 active fonts. I didn't move fonts around or remove duplicates, all I did was go into Font Book (Applications > Font Book), and select all the fonts, then disable them. I then went through and enabled the System fonts, as well as font libraries I like the most. I enabled most of Adobe's fonts (they're my favorites), and didn't bother with the rest. If I need them for web design or graphic design, I'll browse what I want, and enable it one at a time. Hi Zo,
