Start over????

I have seriously screwed up my font database. What steps must I go thru to completely remove everything, then re specify all the font folders so that they all reload, and all my fonts will be there…

Thanks…

This is what I do from time to time:

  1. Uninstall MainType
  2. Remove the font databases when asked
  3. Reinstall MainType
  4. Create font groups from folders

I am doing it now, just for fun. It’s not difficult if you have only a few thousands fonts, but may take a while for users with tens of thousands of fonts. All done now after about seven minutes. I now have 4,094 fonts in my library. I will need to recreate a couple of font layouts. I don’t really use font tagging.

Bhikkhu,

Thank you very much. :smiley: :smiley:

:question: Now to figure out how to do a complete back-up, just in case I screw up again - :question: very possible!!!

The reload of my fonts is underway… gonna take a while…

:OT :OT I do a lot of carving, if you know of a source(s) for Celtic style fonts, please let me know… I have a few, but always looking for another…

Thanks,
Henri
