No, it is not freeware, but it is free to try. [**Download it here.**](http://www.high-logic.com/download.html) In my opinion, it is by far the best font managing program out there. In January of 2006 [I wrote this introduction to the product](https://forum.high-logic.com/t/hello-maintype/1141/1), and it has gotten better almost every month since then! I have my (over 100,000) fonts in many folders on a separate hard drive, **1-Fonts** (with sub-foldeers Panose 2, 3, 4, 5, AncientLanguages, DanXSolo, Seasonal, etc) for the fonts I REALLY like. Another folder named **1CollectedFonts** with sub-folders AA-AB, AC-AD, etc. to ZA-ZZ. When I find a collected font I really like, I move it into folder **1-Fonts.** Still another folder contains the fonts I have personally created. Maintype helps me quickly find the font I need to **temporarily LOAD** for a project that is automatically unloaded when I turn my computer off. It also helped me set up a **1-Groups** Folder with sub-folders containing shortcuts to fonts to load fonts as a group for special projects that I use over and over without having to keep multiple copies of each font. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.high-logic.com/t/need-alternative-to-windows-font-folder/2822)._
