Font Management

[Guest]

I am getting ready to use a font management program. It suggests to move all fonts to a new folder, except the screen fonts and the OpenType fonts. When I open the fonts folder in the control panel there is a column "Attributes" (when in detail view). Some fonts have Attribute "A" and some have "RA" what does that stand for? Should they be moved?

The "A" means that the file has changed since your last full backup or that
you have never backup your system with a backup application. If you use an
image program to protect your system, ignore this attribute.

The "R" means that the file is read only.

IMO: before I would move fonts around for a font management program, I would
image my drive just to be cautious.
