Update: I've solved the problem by just doing each individual folder separately instead of doing it all at once.

Update: I tried the organize function again recently, except this time I took out all of the fonts that begin with a number. Font Doctor crashed before the folder was even created. It crashed during the examination. I know i have a lot of fonts, but i dont want to skip over any fonts. I think I might try to do a little at a time and see what happens. But then, wont some fonts of the same name be in different locations? I Don't know.

Thanks

Can you narrow it down to a particular fonr or folder that crashes? If so, can you send us the offending font? techSupport@FontGear.net

System version: 10.6.3 Snow Leopard

FontDoctor: 7.7.0

Hello, I recently sent this same message to the support guys:

Hello, I have a problem with FontDoctor. I have a lot of fonts to organize. When I use FontDoctor, I can diagnose problems and resolve them just fine. When I go to organize the fonts, the program crashes whenever it starts building the folders during the last steps. It seems to crash at the same time. I have tried twice. It seems to get somewhere around the "6" folder (organized alphabetically) and then crashes.

 Thanks

I have attached an error report made by apple.

We recently got this question and thought it would be helpful to post the response here as well:

"I have a question that I've been meaning to ask for a while regarding the Diagnose Extra Font Sizes option in the Diagnose pane's Options.

In the Font Doctor Help manual, you claim that the extra point sizes included in PS Type 1 font suitcases are unnecessary. But is this true? What makes me pause to tick that option is the simple fact that the extra point sizes were included with the font, so surely they must be required. Why would the font designer include those additional point sizes in the suitcase if they were truly unnecessary?

Moreover, I've come across some articles on the Web that say one shouldn't discard those extra point sizes. For example, at a site called PDF-X-Robot, they say regarding FontDoctor:

"[Y]ou must go into the settings and set the preferences to NEVER discard or rather optimize the screen font sizes. These kind of utilities CAN and WILL discard some of your larger point size screen fonts, UNLESS you make sure the settings are set to protect these extra screen fonts.

"For example, in a type 1 postscript font, you can have a screen font for each of 10,12,14, 18, 24, 48, etc. etc. pont sizes. If you allow a font utility to discard the larger sizes, keeping only the 10 point, when that font is used in a large size for like a headline at 72 point, the screen display will be practically illegible. When printed, will look OK, but you need these extra sizes to display large point sizes well as you design."

This seems to make sense to me. Or am I all backwards in my understanding here?

Anyway, your opinion would be great. Thanks."
