Remove duplicates

Now we have a valid database that represents the files on disk. (No? Not done what was described one page ago? Then hurry or lose files!!!) Otherwise: Let's hunt for dupes!

Start fontlinge_dupe. Use the option --really, or nothing will happen.

Now duplicate fonts are removed from your filesystem. Note: Comparing is not only done by filename but by »diff«-command. You really just get rid of dupes.
   

Folders containing many PostScript- or MultipleMaster-fontfiles are treated folder-by-folder.

That means: A folder's content is deleted completely, if another folder contains exactly the same. The complete folder must fit, not just a single file.

Without the --really option no deleting will happen.




Quicktip:

Do what I said one page ago. Then:

fontlinge_dupe --really
