I want to end up with the same fonts installed on all my computers.
"All" is inclusive of various Windows systems, a Mac, and a couple Linux
systems.

Each system has some fonts I have no use for, Asian fonts for example.

So I'm looking to come up with the most efficient method for
accomplishing this.

This is my current idea.

1. On the first system, delete the fonts I don't want.
2. Copy the fonts to a folder on an external drive
3. On the second system, attach the external drive and repeat Step 1.
4. Copy the fonts to same folder on the external drive. But do I
overwrite the existing fonts when there are duplicates, skip, or add a
copy. I don't want to get too picky. LOL
5. Repeat Steps 3 & 4 until I've gathered all the fonts into a "master"
folder.
6. Take the external drive, and one by one, copy the fonts in the
"master" folder into all the font folders in the computers, overwriting
everything.


Anyone have a quicker way to do this? No scripts, please, that's
something I don't want to deal with since I'll be using different
operating systems.

If you really *must* do something with fonts, I'd suggest leaving the
"stock" fonts alone on all the systems, because as someone else
mentioned, it is possible that the systems expect some of them, and that
will differ.

Then, load the fonts that you want to use on the other systems by
getting versions of those fonts for the OSes. They probably aren't generic.
