easily without explaination. For example, I have about 250 truetype fonts

DrakeFont would freeze on the first part of processing those fonts if I

it to process the directory. Also, it was very counterintutive on how to
select an entire directory.

Are you sure DrakeFont froze?

I thought the same thing when I tried to import fonts from my Windows
partition.  I also have a large number of True Type fonts. (360)

not large number of fonts.
1574 fonts from windows box in my system. ( actually from putting corel draw suite in alone. another 300+ from windows and corel office suite.)
