FontPicker

FontPicker is an intuitive application that can help you browse fonts and choose a preferred one by comparing up to three different fonts side by side. It gives you the possibility to enter custom text and personalize settings.

The installation operation is a speedy job that shouldn't give you any trouble, thanks to the fact that there aren't unfamiliar options, software requirements, or third-party offers bundled.

It's wrapped in an approachable interface that can display either one, two or three columns side by side, depending on the number of fonts you want to compare.

It's possible to scroll a list with all available fonts, pick the preferred one, set the size, view sample text and change it into anything else, change the text alignment, set the text and background color, as well as emphasize text using bold, italic or capitalization effects.

Moreover, FontPicker reveals the character map of the fonts, along with the keyboard shortcut for creating a particular character in your text editor. Alternatively, you can copy characters.

No error dialogs popped up in our tests and it didn't freeze or crash. Unsurprisingly, the application had minimal impact on computer performance, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM. Although it hasn't received updates for a long time, it worked smoothly on newer Windows models in our tests. Plus, it's free and can be easily used by anyone, even those with little or no experience in such software.

Even if it doesn't contain a particularly rich set of options, FontPicker comes bundled with straightforward features for studying and comparing different fonts, entering custom text and configuring text settings to help you figure out which fonts you like best.
