FontSuite

Just like handwriting differs from one individual to the other, so is text written on a computer customizable to perfectly blend with the activity it describes, or context it’s used in. To better analyze your font collection, FontSuite comes with several tools for comparison, generating, and indexing of all fonts installed on your PC.

Once deployed, you can use multiple tools in order to analyze existing fonts and copy characters, enlist all fonts in an editable text pad with save options, compare two existing fonts, or use a variety of customization options in order to generate custom strings for clever, cool, and stylish designs. Each component comes with it’s own interface, and can be used at the same time.

The CM Pro component is the one enlisting all characters in a selected font set. Most of the space is used to show all characters, and symbols in that particular set, which is selected from a side list. Clicking an item shows it in a magnified space, along with the Alt + Numpad ASCII key combo you can insert it through. Moreover, a dedicated text field allows you to select characters from different sets, and copy the string to clipboard.

Font Comparison works in a similar manner. Characters are shown in the same way, in a large panel, while selection is similar. However, you get to pick two fonts, both displayed in pairs of columns so you can check differences between characters in real time. Although there’s no save function, you can print the sheet on paper.

Another component is FonIndex. With it, all fonts installed on your computer get enlisted in an editable text pad. You’re free to make custom font selection, and whether or not to include symbol and system fonts. Size can also be specified, and once generated, you can write additional characters before copying to clipboard, or exporting as RTF.

CoolType is where all the fun happens. This tool is used to create text using the fonts you select. All style options like color, character casing, and size can be used in combinations, with the possibility to also generate with random parameters, for more variety. Text first needs to be written down, and once generated, it can be saved as RTF, unless you switch to HTML format.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that FontSuite is a powerful font manager, which bundles an impressive variety of analysis, and creation tools. These can be used individually so you’re not overwhelmed, while the set of features makes identification, and creation a walk in the park, even for inexperienced individuals.
