Managing fonts is difficult task to do. You may have to use different fonts for different projects. Sometime you have to preview fonts, install them and uninstall when not required.

Here you have to select sub folder if your fonts are in sub folder.
Now your fonts will be available in Nexusfont.
Similarly you can add more Google Fonts to your folder (like in my case folder on desktop).
And you have to select that folder by right clicking on your folder (like here on My Fonts folder).
