Two Fonts With The Same Name

Postby The Texas Dude » Sun Mar 09, 2008 11:00 pm

Hello. I've been working for some time dropping duplicates from my font files. This is what's still unresolved -- Different Fonts With the Same File Names.

Some names are used by more than one font provider. Moreover, some font designers assign the same name to two fonts! That is how you end up with duplicate fonts which are not in fact duplicates.

Only font names considered here, not font designs, so if you have Ashlay, Ashford, Ashley Regular and Ashlyn Regular they are the exact same design but they will not be included because they have different font names.

There are 24 downloads corresponding to the letters of the alphabet (0-9/A and XYZ are grouped). There's 188mb of zipped files with over 5700 fonts. Hopefully you only have half of them so there'll be a net gain after all your work.

[Rant] Thanks to the present US economic policies the Euro is worth very much more than the same number of US dollars so I had to purchase a 29.99 Euro license for $47 from this European company. Please download a million of these fonts as I will gain "Points" to buy the next installment of Rabbitshare...[/Rant]
