Hey Guys/Gals,
Hopefully somebody on this beautiful forum can help me (hope you feel more inclined now). I have been pretty lazy when it comes to fonts, they get downloaded and then quickly chucked into my windows font folder. I was just really interested to know what you lot do with your fonts in regards to storage etc and what would you recommend? I know you can get software to store certain styles of font together but i really just do not know where to start with it all. Anything you can throw my way is always greatly received Many many thanks Ben |

Hi Ben, not really an answer to your question, but another question.
Can you put fonts in folders, like 'commercial' 'non-commercial' etc? Never thought of that before.. |
