Font utilities - need to find duplicates

My company has a bazillion fonts, and they're a mess.

We have a need for a utility that can examine our fonts and tell us if we have duplicates, but it needs to evaluate on the actual contents of the font file rather than the filename.

For example, if we have an OpenType version of Arial and a Truetype version of Arial that are internally the same font, I need to know.

Ideally, we'd see something like a similarity %, so if there's a tiny adjustment to a font (periods in the Truetype version have 2% extra kerning) we see a 99% match or whatever.

Does anything like this exist?

I use the free version of Duplicate Cleaner. It's quite fast and easy to use but will only report identical files.

Different filenames are not a problem as you can have it disregard filenames and only look at file contents, but it has no similarity percentage feature so there is no way of knowing how much different non identical files are.
