I have only been using the addonCollectionManager with gradients, patterns and brushes.
Today after downloading a little more than 20 fonts I decided to manage them via this application.
I created a folder fonts_storage and added the new fonts in .ZIP format - Everything seemed to be ok until I noticed that it was not possible to deactivate (remove) these fonts after use.
I also noticed that these fonts are copied into the Preferences\fonts folder, and only by deleting these copies manually in this folder I can remove the fonts from the Gimp. (Gimp needs to be closed for this to happen)
Searching around, I found Rich2005's tip:
It didn't work.
This behavior only happens with fonts, with gradients, brushes and patterns the Addon can add and remove them perfectly.
Could this be a Windows related case?
Does anyone have/had the same problem?
Is it a known problem and is there already a simple solution?
Thx

They usually load ok but Windows has a habit of not letting them to unload, sometimes until Windows is restarted.Then I changed all the .ZIPs into folders , putting each group of fonts that was in a .ZIP in the same folder.
