I have tons of fonts on my PC (1266 installed). Sometimes it's difficult to find the right font for the job.
I use "AMP Font viewer" to oversee the fonts and their lay out. It's freeware!
ampsoft.net...
To find a specific font I see on the internet or sowhere else I take a sample and use "Find My Font" (trialware, 30 days free, I use the Pro version).
What do you use to keep track of your fonts?
It would be so simple if Windows allowed to make subfolders in the FONT directory to classify fonts by categories, fonts management is the thing that has evolved the least since the first versions of Windows.

I've used NexusFont for a number of years and for the featues it has, it works well. You can organize your fonts into folders and subfolders, load and unload fonts to/from Windows fonts directory and view the fonts/charmaps as well.
I've organized all my font files in a single basic Windows folder (separated out into font family and project subfolders), this will become your NexusFont library once you point NexusFont to this folder and its subfolders. At that point you create "Collections" of fonts and font families to view in NexusFont.
The programs methodology of having the program seek these Library folders and then when you create Collections doesn't seem to me straightforward, it gets the job done. I have collections set up for work and home projects as well as a collection for fonts used by Blufftitler Bixpacks so I don't have to keep hundreds of fonts always loaded.. It's also a bit slow initially loading the fonts upon opening the program even on a fast machine, but I don't use it on a daily basis either.
Its use of Library and collections is not implemented as well as others and it has a minor incompatibility with Windows 10 but manages to work without much hassle. I've stayed with it because I've had it around for so long.
There are others out there. Just search for "Windows Font Manager"
