Description
.merlin is an Adobe AIR based utility. If you're like me, and have a thousands of mis-labeled fonts scattered in endless folders, this utility is for you. I had a folder with roughly 7000 fonts, it would bring Windows to a halt just opening the folder. I also had a lot of duplicate fonts because they were all labeled incorrectly. This utility will extract the actual font name, and rename the file based off of that. Then put that font into a folder of the first letter. So Arial would go in the "a" folder. While it's processing fonts, it will display which font is being processed. Below the progress bar will update with the current font of the total being processed (ie. 15 of 200). If for some reason .merlin runs into any errors, it will stop processing fonts and report the specific font it had a problem with. Some of the options you can configure for processing is to move, rename, or delete files. Each has a check box to enable or disable each.Features
- Read OTF font files.
- Read TTF font files.
