Are you sure DrakeFont froze?
I thought the same thing when I tried to import fonts from my Windows
partition. I also have a large number of True Type fonts. (360)
After several tries, and apparent failures, I decided to wait and let it
do it's thing no matter how long it took. I was pleased to find that it
had *not* indeed frozen. It just took a long time to do what it had to
do *without giving sufficient feedback*. The window wouldn't even
refresh.
I have since done it a number of times on new installs with the same
outcome. It worked. It just didn't let me know that it was working.
