I've got a bursting library of fonts, but I have say 30 favourites which I typically use on web designs, is it possible to load just those 30 fonts in photoshop, or have an easily accessible folder in PS with just those fonts, like a font palette to choose from? thanks

Hi,

There is not such settings regarding fonts in photoshop.

The thing you can do is define the font you want in tool preset.

Below are steps to define a tool preset.
1. Select the font you want.
2. Open "windows>>Tool preset"
3. With the font and type tool selected click on the new tool preset icon at the bottom of the tool preset window.

By this way you can easily create library of your favorite fonts.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,

Have a look at Extensis suitcase for managing your fonts, you can easily categorise fonts and turn on and off as needed. If you install too many fonts into Windows as I have found out in the past it can make your system unstable.

I would check out the following article, it showcases a variety of the best font managers out there...

Though I must agree that Extensis Suitcase Fusion and Fontcase look good
