FixFonts can repair the Font Header (the xxx.font) file so that it contains the correct number, size, etc. of fonts that are actually in the directory under that name. It cannot reduce the size of the fonts directory. Have you investigated REN? I think it is in the ARTS LIB14. It lets you put the path to a font in its font header, and your WorkBench needs to have only the short font header file, while the much larger font definition file can be on any disk. When you call for one of the fonts, the header will be read, and you will be prompted to insert the disk that contains that font.
