Fonts spring cleaning with Font Doctor

Whether you are an established graphic designer or a beginner who’s just beginning to learn the ropes, it cannot be denied that designers need their collection of fonts as much as they need their graphics software to survive. As such, the hundreds of fonts cluttering up your computer might end up corrupting your files if you don’t organize them in a proper manner. Numerous fonts with the same file names might prove to be messy and hinder your design process. One good counter measure is to spring clean your computer and organize your fonts using Font Doctor.

Font Doctor is available in PC and Mac versions. It acts as a janitor by scanning your hard drive, searching every nook and cranny for fonts and then becomes a “doctor” by “treating” “sick” files. Missing PostScript fonts are also sought out. Those with unneeded font sizes are also eliminated. Font Doctor also locates “cloned” fonts with same file names and alerts you of their presence so that you can delete them and thus freeing up space in your computer.

Your font collection can also be better managed once Font Doctor arranges your font library by alphabetical order or by fonts within the same category. This value added utility also helps you convert fonts in Mac format to PC format and vice versa.
