Power Script to Compare file size and delete the smaller
I am pretty new to scripting, so I appreciate your advice in advance.
The problem:

100 directories each containing 2 files that have the same extension with random names. The only attribute that discriminates the files is size. I would like to write a script that compares the files for size and deletes the smaller of the two. Thanks! - OSX, X11, bash

t1libconfig

T1LIBCONFIG(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    T1LIBCONFIG(8)

NAME

       t1libconfig - create the t1lib.config and FontDataBase files for t1lib

SYNOPSIS

       t1libconfig [ -v,--version ] [ -h,--help ] --force ] ] --non-interactive ] [ fontdirectory...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       t1libconfig  scans  a list of directories for Type 1 fonts and font metric files, and generates a configuration file and font database file
       for the t1lib  rasterizer  library  accordingly.   By  default,	it  looks  in  all  subdirectories  of	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts,  and	in
       /usr/lib/ghostscript.  Extra directories to search may be specified on the command line.  The t1libconfig script tries not to scan the same
       directory twice (this is, however, not foolproof, since /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and /usr/lib/X11/fonts typically point to the same  direc-
       tory on GNU/Linux systems).

OPTIONS

       -v,--version
	      Print the version of t1libconfig and exit.

       -h,--help
	      Print help about usage and exit.

       --force
	      Force the generation of new configuration files even if these files already exist on the system.

       --non-interactive
	      Don't prompt the user if a problem is encountered.

FILES

       /etc/t1lib/t1lib.config	Contains  configuration  information  for t1lib, including colon-separated lists of paths to Type 1 font files and
				font metrics files, and the location of the default font database file

       /etc/t1lib/FontDataBase	Contains a list of the names of Type 1 font files to be used by t1lib.
