Found a torrent of a scrape of dafont.com

Ended up installing over 49,000 fonts and screwing up Windows.

 

Has taken me 2 days to remove them using various font management software.

Who honestly needs 49k fonts the whole thing seems so ridiculous I've never heard of an insane issue like this before.
