Is it possible to search, filter, or have a custom view of all fonts that don't have a given tag?
I've just gotten hold of an old "1001 Bargain-Bin Low Quality Fonts!" CD, and while I'd like them in my library for if I get desperate enough, I'd rather they not show up when I'm not looking for them specifically. My first thought was to tag them all, then use a Custom View that filtered out the one tag I added. I'm not sure if there's a way-- some syntax trick, maybe-- to "NOT"-out the tag in the "Tags" section and show everything else, though.
I'm open to other ideas, too, if Custom Views isn't the way to go. Ideally, I'd like to be able to browse a list of everything I've got, tagged and untagged, except the ones with the tag I set on the cheapo fonts.
Is it possible to show everything WITHOUT a certain tag?

I don't see any way to exclude fonts from a view by tag.
Does it help to list them by categorisation, Foundry?
The fonts on the CD may all share the same Foundry name.

You can add a negative tag in the Tags section of the custom view.

Aha! A minus! I'm surprised I didn't think of that myself. Thanks!
I will also have to look into the Foundry categorization as well. It might help me wrap my head around the 20+ years pile of fonts I've built up.
