Greetings to everyone!
First of all, let me thank everybody here for all the help you've given me as well as others. Often I have had a knotty problem and have done a web-search and found the answer already exists here.
Trust me; It is not unnoticed and it is gratefully appreciated.

====================================================
Information about problem:
I often do typography, (WordPerfect ROCKS!), in various languages, as a result I have multiple fonts, in multiple languages, installed on my machine.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of these fonts have English-style names that have no relation to the language involved. (i.e. "Roman Sparkle" (a fake font name) might be a Cyrillic, Asian or other non-Latin font, but by looking at the name I have no clue. Many of these fonts were downloaded a while ago, and I forget which is which.
Issue / Question: ( :banghead: )
Is it possible to, somehow, categorize fonts in such a way that if I want a Vietnamese Japanese, Russian, or whatever type font, that I can find all those fonts as a grouping of that type and that type alone?
With any other type of file, I can create sub-folders to categorize the files by type-and-kind, making them easy to find. It would be damn convenient if I could do the same thing with fonts.
Note that I have found "font manager" software, but the question of how well it can help me within yet another program - like Word Perfect or Word - is unknown. I am not willing to download some unknown piece of software, just to experiment.
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
