Bulk Font unzipper/ Installer

[Lucas]

Hey CMN,

Maybe your like me, I don't know, but I download a LOT of fonts.

Most of the time these are in a Zip file, meaning you have to go through all the rigmarole of unzipping the folder, having duplicates etc.

May I introduce FontZipper (Name unofficial)

It automates the process for you, it will even Install the fonts for you. (It does require a restart however, I am working on this)

I understand that there are other programs like this out there, but why pay?



If i get the time I may even make it so you can right click Fonts/ Zip archives in Windows and have it do it automatically for you.

Anyone interested?

Thanks for creating it and introducing it to us!

We'll be waiting for the link.

No worries mate!

I originally made it to save me time, but if it helps me, what the heck.

It actually took a surprisingly short time, about 2 hours to make and test.

Shouldn't it be fontunzipper?

That would be a fantastic resource for anyone to use!! I have well over 800 fonts that I need to transfer to my notebook in zip format... ugh. Bless you, bless you!!!

Phil, no, it Zips through Zip files!

No worries!Just sorting out a small issue

That would be an excellent tool to have. I have nearly 5000 fonts in zipped formats on a thumb drive that I need to add to my laptop (already have in excess of 2500 on it) from my previous laptop and have been dreading the process.

Can it be config'd to NOT make a copy of a font that's already installed?
