7a (no layout) 7b font organizer - I could use  "the font thing" because it doesn't work in Windows 7 http://the-font-thing.en.softonic.com/ but I was able to find one called AMP font viewer http://www.ampsoft.net/utilities/FontViewer.php  that allows me to temporarily load a font to use, and then it is removed when I close PSE.  That keeps the load of "too many fonts" from slowing down your computer!  Here's my layout with a temporarily loaded font ...
