Hi all,

I'm a self taught web/graphic designer and have emased a collection of thousands of fonts over the years. Just wondering is there an actual professional catagorising system professional typographers use to catagorise there fonts? (I catagorised my collection about 8 years ago but it was with casual names like, plain, futuristic, free hand, cartoony, dingbats etc not the most reliable or professional way of doing it.

Also I plan to print out my entire collection of fonts once I have catagorise them (displaying them in a a4 protective sleeve folder, what is the best program going around to help me do this, what other ways are there to display them once printed?

Any help / links to websites would be great
