So I want to organize my fonts. I did a search and found a link to
http://www.unleash.com/articles/fonts/fontmanage.html from an earlier discussion. I made a new folder and moved a font (I like to do new things in baby steps.) Now Corel says the font is Not Found. In the article is mentions font shortcuts so I thought I would put a shortcut in the font folder. No can do. If I move a bunch of fonts out of the font folder how do I get Corel to find them?
I use Corel 12.

James,
Are you using Font Navigator within CorelDRAW where you drag and drop fonts as needed or some other pgm?

I am using Font Navagator. I dragged (drug?) the font over to install it but do not get a font sample and it is still not found in Corel.
I opened my Fonts folder and now it shows a shortcut but does not show a sample there either.

In Font Manager, if you move a file it does not know where it went, naturally.
Click 'File/Find Fonts' and it will search the entire computer to find the fonts.
You do not need to move the fonts. Just make a folder inside Font Manager and put the fonts in there. Then you can install/deinstall them by the folder.
I have folders for Headlines, semi-fancy, etc. When I need one of those fonts, I install the folder, then uninstall it after the job to keep the font numbers down.
