Fonty Python is a handy utility that enables users to find, view and manage font files of all kinds.
With this software, users can quickly view and filter arbitrary TTF, TTC, OTF or Type1 font files and then gather them together into ‘pogs’ which can be installed or removed as needed. In this way users control which fonts are installed on a per-project basis. Fonts never move from where they are stored, neither are copies made; only links to the original files are used to install the fonts into your home .fonts directory.
Fonty Python is written in Python and WxWidgets.
Key Features

- Multiple Pog selection lets you install, uninstall or remove multiple pogs simultaneously.
- Command line version is also available for quick usage which lets users install and remove Pogs without having to start the graphical interface.
