    Well if you downloaded 5.1 Gb worth of fonts it's going to take up space.

    I have the fonts to make sure that these are either malware or not.

    If a font is malware, I will remove it.

    If there is a font that is unneeded in my computer, I will remove it.
    Regarding the last line what do you define as an unneeded font?

    There is a freeware program (up to 2500 fonts) but paid for if you want to deal with more than that.

    MainType for Windows - the best font manager I've ever seen

    Features include:


    • Select duplicate fonts
    • Detect invalid and corrupt fonts (see Tools menu in the GUI)
    • Resolve font conflicts


    You can also check integrity of each font. See screenshots here (font integrity tab at bottom of window)

    I don't really know what you mean by optimize fonts.

    Here is one from GitHub. It is said to convert from TTF to something else.

    As far as I can work out that's aimed at optimizing fonts for websites and it was last updated in 2011.

    I might be wrong.

    I still think that they are aimed at web and app developers and not windows users.

    This seems to confirm my thoughts:

    How to install and manage fonts on Windows 10 - gHacks Tech News

    Windows 10 -- all modern versions of Windows actually -- supports three main types of font formats: TrueType fonts, OpenType fonts, and PostScript fonts.

    • TrueType fonts have the extension .ttf or .ttc. Developed by Microsoft and Adobe in the late 80s as a competitor to the PostScript font format. It offered creators a higher degree of control in regards to how fonts are displayed.
    • OpenType fonts have the extension .otf. This is the successor of the TrueType fonts format which extends the format by adding data structures for typographic behavior to the format.
    • PostScript fonts have the extension .pfb or .pfm. Developed by Adobe for professional digital typesetting.

    In the other words, OpenType is font-friendlier than TrueType.

    With regards to your original question. It doesn't optimize anything if you convert fonts.

    It really doesn't matter unless you do a lot of high quality printing or website design where fine detail in appearance matters.

    Have a read:

    Print vs Web fonts: What’s the difference? - CreativePro.com

    if you are somehow unhappy with fonts used on your computer then there are multiple ways to make things more readable or pleasing to the eye.

    You can do your own research on that. What do you need all those fonts you downloaded for specifically.

    Nobody else will see them for the most part.
