I’ve downloaded a few font packs that come with thousands of fonts. I would like to install them and try out some fonts, but I’m afraid to just throw 5,000+ fonts in my /font directory without any ability to easily remove them afterwards (because I can’t risk deleting important fonts).

Is there a way I can use fonts in a directory structure? That way I can put all of these new fonts in their own directory and simply move/delete that directory if I don’t want them?
