FONT performance with titles. Am I the only one frustrated?

Overall, I don't have any major issues with FCP X's performance - I try to keep my list of active projects and events small to keep things extra snippy.

But I seem to have far more trouble whenever titles and fonts come into the mix. Even scrolling or switching between fonts in any title takes a noticeable 1-3 sec delay for the display window to reflect the change - and sometimes I get weird, buggy reactions like a font reverting back to an earlier selection. Playing with multiple titles at once is a recipe for even more trouble.

Is this just on my end? I experience the overall slowness on both of my machines, both running 10.0.8 (although I've had the problem for as long as I can remember, back to 10.0.3) and well-equipped (12GB and 16GB RAM, core i7, etc).

Use Font Book to verify your fonts. I used to have a lot of trouble with fonts but not in 10.08. One of the things I did was verify and remove problem fonts with Font Book.

I haven't noticed any issues like this. I run FCPX off an SSD though which really boosted the performance, totally worth the terror or ripping apart my iMac.

I love this setup. Although I doubt that feeling will last...

It might also have to do with how many fonts you have installed. There are some good font accessory programs which can manage installing & uninstalling only the fonts you need when you need them, all while still letting you see them graphically. Perhaps someone here can recommend which one is best.
