Storing fonts on a NAS drive?

-

hi...

 

i don't profess tech genius, i'm hoping out there me out advice. main workstation intel imac 24", 5 years old, running mavericks, 500gb root drive, 1tb fw8000 lacie time machine, 6gigs of ram, connected home network , have 2 nas drives, both wds... 2tb mybooklive , 3tb mycloud.

 

my imac has been slowing down little little, , decided try purge as possible have 1/3rd of 500gb hdd free. use wd mybook 2tb drive project data storage, , of work adobe photoshop psds , pdfs. lot of graphics work , work requires lot of different fonts.  tons of free space on both nas drives fonts.

 

so thinking pc days, seem remember having 100 or fonts active helped performance, , iirc, did keep fonts stored on separate drive.

 

would able store unused/inactive fonts on nas or usb drives? we're talking 800-1000 fonts. , moving fonts off root hdd on imac performance?

 

one thing annoying me lately every once in while, imac freezes up. have reboot , fine... beachball isn't driving me nuts lol. don't know why happening.

 

 

tia!

i don't macs, moving fonts off boot drive sounds bad idea me.  how big folder, anyway?  main fonts file in windows folder, 500mb.  worries me fonts going used time, except when aren't being used, have wait other drive wake next time need them. 

 

there must better ways save drive space on mac system.  if talking uninstalled fonts, that's different.
