The Font Viewer 2.0

We have released a helpful little utility, Font Viewer. It can be found at www.FontViewer.net. In the simplest of terms this is a program that allows you to view large portions of your installed font families with their various styles.

The application renders all installed font families in a scrollable grid view. It allows you to change the font size, color, background color and text to be displayed. It has a built in list feature that allows you to select fonts and then store the names, this acts much like a light-box on the various stock image websites. You can export your list to .txt or .fv for later use and we also added a feature that will export your list to .pdf with the all styles applied.

This tool is by no means revolutionary but as a designer you might find it quite helpful when trying to find that perfect font for a piece of copy or a new logo. Read the rest of this entry »
