Hi,

I got tired of having 30 different versions of Arial on my pc last night.
(latin, greek, hebrew, impact, etc).

I need a font organizer; need to be able to delete unwanted fonts.

What *one* would that be Jan? Is there a reason he should click on this
link or should he just trust it is the best one for his needs?

I, also, wish links were not blind ...that is, an id # and a .php
extension....at least explain what is at the end of that link...

as to the request, The Font Thing is likely the best free solution

Install or uninstall any number of fonts at once
Load (and unload) any number of fonts for temporary use

have used the font thing for ages and it's does everything I need, but ran
across this one recently...

WARNING - SHAREWARE PROGRAM FOLLOWS <gasp!>

(Note that I am neither endorsing or recommending this program, just
passing on a reference to another alternative that may suit the OP...)

FontSort is a trialware util that claims to sort fonts into like types (as
opposed to just listing them).

30 days trial - should be plenty long enough to do what you want

I haven't had the opportunity to try this but thought that this approach
was worth a look....
