Organize Fonts

[kirkbross]

Noobie here... not to Photoshop per se, but to using it intelligently. I'm not sure this is the correct board for this question.

Is there a way to organize fonts into groups or folders without using a font manager (I'm running Photoshop CS3 in XP Pro)? i.e., when I click on the font drop down menu, it would be awesome to see (for example) something like this:

Serif >
Sans Serif >
Script >
Bold >
Thin >
Silly >
Abstract >

...and then hover menus for the relevant fonts. I have about 700 fonts and it's just a huge alphabetical list with no rhyme or reason.

Thanks in advance,
Kirk

reviving this thread to see if anyone came uo with an answer to the OP's question.. I too am looking for a way to organize my fonts in a file folder system within PS5 or... outside PS5 and install them as needed...

ANY ideas???
