It takes quit a long time to generate. But I'll look into it. Thanks. At least I can try to understand what is happening there. What I like about my version is that it is sorted and I can exclude ‘doubles’. Some fonts (on my system) are about 15 times included in different names. After excluding the doubles I was left with about half of what I had gotten first. And I could make different sets, by making the script use an input of the needed fonts. -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof
