I have a lot of fonts.

Well over 40,000 and 4 gigs worth of fonts.

I have been trying to combine all of my fonts into one set.

I have tried Font Reserve to remove duplication fonts.

I have tried Font Font Agent Pro to remove duplicate fonts.

I have tried Font Doctor to remove duplicate fonts.

I now have more duplicate fonts. I keep getting font names with an extra number at the end of the font name. For example: Times 1, Times 2, Times 3, Times 4, Times 5, ect ect.

Font Doctor is a dog. It is slow as hell. Can take over a month to go through 2 gig of fonts. No kidding. I once ran it for over three months going through all of my fonts on a seperate G3 BW mac in the corner of the office.

FAP can crash, thus causing another set of fonts with duplicate names and a new number at the end of the font name.

This is a nightmare.

What do the pros use to remove duplicate fonts and organzie thier fonts into one clean master set of fonts?

to answer your question "pros" like myself don't have 40,000 pirated fonts and don't need to worry about duplicates.

sorry for all of the dupe post, something strange is going on.

admin please delete dups.

And yes, I am a pro. Get off your high horse.

We have 40,000 fonts because I have gathered all of the fonts from all of our machines and through the processes of Font Doctor, we now have many font names with the same name, but a new number behind it.

The number keeps growing.

your post(s) stink of pirated fonts and the location attached to your profile doesn't help your credibility.

i should add that my horse isn't high, just hung over.
