I had a similar problem - I had a directory containing tons of fonts that were all very badly named. I wrote this snippet to rename the files based on the actual font name (family_style.ttf) so I could find them and install as needed: http://pastebin.com/GB6PKBim BE WARNED: this changes the file names *in place* - there is absolutely no safety net. You might consider copying your font dir to a temporary location and then running the script there instead. For me it worked well - that whole directory is named correctly now, but I make no guarantees (may kick puppies, eat kittens, etc. ;) Also it only will do TTF files, and probably only works on linux. You need python-imaging and python-magic as well. Another possibility would be to modify this script to output the filename and the font name on the same line - that way you could pipe that through grep and see which file matches which font.
