dp4 Font Viewer

dp4 Font Viewer is a tiny and portable software utility that you can use to view all TTF fonts in a specified directory. It comes packed with a few handy options such as filters.

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can drop the executable file in any location on the hard disk and just click it to run.

It is also possible to save dp4 Font Viewer to a USB flash disk or similar storage device, to be able to run it effortlessly on any PC, without previous installers.

What's more, the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and leftovers are not kept on the HDD after removing the utility.

The GUI is clean and intuitive, based on a window split into multiple panels. You can scroll a list to select a font, or filter results by specifying the family, weight and width class, among others.

You can preview the font in question in the main frame, as well as change the viewing mode to display all glyphs. You can show a character grid, Unicode and keys, as well as change the font size, view both Microsoft and Macintosh information, and write sample text to preview the font changes.

Text information can be saved to HTML or BMP format (with or without the alpha channel), as well as printed. Plus, you can view file information just like in Windows Explorer, and print the list of fonts.

dp4 Font Viewer is very low-demanding when it comes to system performance, using low CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and works well, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. We have not come across any issues throughout our testing. When it comes down to it, dp4 Font Viewer delivers a simple solution to viewing fonts.
