Thread: Installed Fonty Python, Inkscape & put A LOT of fonts on my hard drive, too slow now

-

hi community:

have dell precision 390 80gb hard drive has ubuntu 12.04 installed across entire partition, , 40gb drive standard storage. things pretty until connected 40gb drive had fonts stored on it. did transfer fonts , forth few times 40gb 80gb , again, didn't know best place put them, in folder on unity desktop while. there thousands upon thousands of them.

installed inkscape (graphic design program) , fonty python font manager program. began putting font lists , installing them.

@ point noticed computer no longer handle more 1 program @ time. calling processes list not work, not pop up. shut whole computer off manually , restart.

additional info:

other additional programs installed did not come ubuntu include screensaver (also kept on desktop easy accessibility) , compiz config. desktop cube not activated @ moment.

started of in 11.04, , upgraded 12.04.

have never added more ram came computer

@ 1 point 1 of 40gb drives began fail, transfered 80gb drive, switched out 40gb one, , transfered 80gb new 40gb drive.

other issues include not being able put pictures , images onto pendrive got them off of in first place. transferring large pieces of data in 1 large folder no-no, cannot delete info in large quantities, have 1 folder @ time.

want speed, assuming did stupid when added fonts, maybe there many, thought keeping them on separate hard drive help, on other hand, maybe that's bad idea.

what specifications of machine, cpu , ram etc ?

code:
df
command show how free space have.

put fonts wish use in folder in home directory , name
code:
.fonts
run
code:
sudo fc-cache -f -v
update font cache , programs able use them.
