Awesome Font Viewer Saves Time

FontsBeing a graphic designer,  I have thousands of different styles of fonts and type faces to choose from.  In photoshop or fireworks, it can get annoying scrolling through all the fonts and trying each out one at a time.

To make things easier, I did a quick search on “font viewer” and came by this one…which is pretty nice!  The best thing about it is that it not only shows all the fonts that you have installed on your machine, but it allows you to preview a typed phrase…what a time saver.

Font Viewer is a font viewer; it views fonts!

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.

Well honestly what more can I say, just give it a try! If you are a designer I think you will find Font Viewer really helpful.

Go to Font Viewer.
