Hey guys, not sure if this has come up before but im wondering what u guys use to manage your fonts on windows (for those which use it)
Im Mainly looking for something to add all of my fonts but as they are all in subfolders(one font per folder kinda of thing), i dont really want to goto the task of manually draging and dropping them into the font folder. any tips or tricks?
Cheers

I guess a quick fix might be to use windows search tool, look for all ttf's or whater you got, then copy all those to the fonts folder or something...

I use Type Manager ... it works great with Adobe and Macromedia software. You can have all your fonts installed on your system, organize them by project or media-type etc, and have your projects load fonts only as they're needed. This is absolutely a must if you have 1000s of fonts, as it allows your system to run really fast by allowing you to select just a handful of fonts by default, to run when your system starts. Otherwise, your software will take ages to open and respond, if you have all 1000+ fonts installed at once.
