Description
I noticed that the Font Collector cannot find all the fonts used in styles. The problems, on my side, concerns mostly Japanese or Chinese fonts. Some of them can be easily found, but others not (even after reinstalling them). I have to copy them manually to the script directory if I want to send them to someone else.
I attached two fonts, one which cannot be found [Crccgbqb (not found).7z] and one which is detected properly [FADREI5 (found).7z].

Further, the font collector is known problematic and pretty much impossible to "fix", because of the way fonts are handled on Windows, and to some extent also on Mac. It's somewhat more manageable on X11-based desktop environments that use exclusively FontConfig.

I deleted the attachment, as the fonts contained are commercial and illegal to distribute.
