Organize fonts using Font Book
Authored by: ehunt123 on Aug 01, '08 08:25:11AM

I had the same situation and wound up spending a few days converting the ones I could to OTF. It is the future of fonts, from what I read, has support almost everywhere and allowed me to go through and decide what to do with ones that did not look good or were damaged. After that, I got the free fontmatrix program to catalog.

TransType Pro (OS X but not the PC version) was the only program that took in both Mac and PC fonts and did a good job processing. Unfortunately, it is still a PPC binary and I definitely saw it crash when the ram consumption was up there.

On the font preview side, you have many options here. Almost all support OTF but I had almost every one crash when asked to do 100+. I also wanted to produce a nice waterfall catalog and go through individually for regular 14/24/48 pt blotters, which I scripted up some shell and perl for.
