I guess I'm a snob, or just innately irritating, when I write to manufacturers and ask them to please keep their free fonts to themselves. Example: before Xara version 11, Xara Designer loads template fonts whether you like it or not. You can delete the folder from the Fonts Gallery, but the misbegotten thing just reappears the next time you load Xara 10 and below.

Is there a switch in Windows Registry or some other method for disabling font loading? I already have the original versions of many of Font Shop's offerings and don't want to bloat my Font list unnecessarily. Heck, I know how to do it myself!

Seriously, is there some way of stopping Xara 10 and below from adding typefaces? I keep several previous versions of Xara on my machine to support the Official Guide.

TIA,

Gary

By the way, I love the fact that v 11 retains fonts used in the document from session to session!
