Deleting from file system: which font version(s)?

[Enigma]

Hello,

I’m just evaluating version 4.0 of MainType. When deleting fonts in the file system, it is said that “MainType will delete the font from all the locations it knows about.” I guess that only applies to the marked version of the font, not to all versions? For example, I have four Arial versions in different folders (2.00, 2.95, 3.00, 5.06). When I mark the 2.00 version of the font and delete it, can I be sure that the other versions will be left alone? I didn’t dare to simply try it…

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Jan

Yes only the font you selected will be deleted. Only exception are TrueType collections, if you delete one font of a collection, the other fonts are deleted aswell.

That goes without saying.
