The Font Thing is a free utility that allows you to easily manage your fonts. You can browse the installed fonts and add or remove fonts with a couple of clicks.
The user can group the fonts into collections and test each font with a standard or custom text sample in order to find the desired text format.
Here are some key features of "The Font Thing":
· View sample text and individual characters in your choice of colours
· Change sample text "on the fly" or easily switch between your own standard text samples
· View detailed font information
· Print font samples
· Associate notes with fonts
· Install or uninstall any number of fonts at once
· Load (and unload) any number of fonts for temporary use
· Copy or delete any number of font files at once
· Rename font files to avoid file name conflicts
· Filter fonts according to their type
· Group fonts into collections for easier management
· Use multiple font windows simultaneously for easy font comparison and management.
