Duplicates and tidying up

Where it is

Duplicates in the sidebar · File ▸ Tidy up… · Ctrl+Shift+T

What you can do

• The same family and style in two files is a duplicate: only one copy is used, and nobody chose which. Duplicates in the sidebar lists the families affected and the Info pane marks the faces.
• Deactivate or remove one copy to settle a duplicate.
• Tidy up (Ctrl+Shift+T) lists what is worth cleaning, each with its fix: the same styles as both OTF and TTF (keep one format), static weights beside a variable font (keep the variable font), files that fail validation, fonts of yours that set no Latin text, and how much room the language fonts take.
• Show selects that family so you can look before you act.
• Package fonts are only ever deactivated. Anything that would delete your own files asks first and lists them.
