For Mac users, I have used Linotype's font explorer X. A free version is available and it never fails me. Works on Snow Leopard, have not upgraded to Lion so I cannot comment on that OS

At what point do you get noticeable drag? I have 18,000 fonts installed in a desktop and no noticeable drag at all using CorelX5. Laptop on the other hand is another story

Glad you asked; I've been wondering about this myself. I know there's no magic number, and it's a graduated scale, but generally speaking how many fonts can a person have installed (on a new Win7 Pro 64-bit tower) before noticing things slowing down?
Are you serious - you have 18,000 fonts installed?!? I was getting worried with ~1400 installed.

I'm noodling with FontExpert and I find that some fonts will be named with some number or abreviation of it's name etc (shown circled below), and yet the proper name will be shown (circled above) in FE. If the file was named or re-named with something other than it's proper name, how does the proper name show up - is it always embedded in the file somehow?
If a font like Eras has a name like "TT1234" applied, it will show in alphabetical order way down the list in the "Ts" not in the "Es" where it should be, so is there a way to have FE display the fonts by the correct name that it also seems to know?
I notice too that I'm unable to re-name fonts in Windows Control Panel > Fonts; why is that?

Every font has an embedded menu name which is normally different than the saved file name. In your example, you are looking at menu names in the larger type and the file name is in smaller type beneath it.

I would want eras to show up as eras, not TT1234...

I don't know because I do not use Font Expert (the font manager, not the font identification program). I use a program named TypoGraf. It allows me to display the font menu name and the font file name which I display beneath my sample text. The sample text is far more useful as a text string of what you are comparing to or considering using.
