just a followup note: to see your fonts in the font viewer, first you
must do a soft reboot after installing fonts. A good way to view fonts
is to use FontMagic, with shadow set to none. Also, most fonts are
between 30k - 100k, so you have to ask yourself, is the space worth it?
I've tested most of the fonts, but watch out, Playbill hangs the OG NC
emulator...
