Litfont

Litfont is a lightweight program designed to help users in quickly identifying the fonts currently installed. Users can test each of the font entries, by inserting a sample text.

The small resource can have multiple uses. For example, one could utilize it in order to make recurrent checks on the fonts currently installed. This would be especially handy for writers or students that often install new fonts. Another potential use would be in testing a specific typeset, before actually using it in a text document.

The interface is inline with the program's overall intuitive and lightweight setup. There are no buttons, menus or tabs to confuse users, and no settings or preferences to tweak! The main window is essentially taken up by the fonts display list, under which a small text box allows users to test their selected typeset. One could hardly find a software more user-friendly.

As the previous paragraph hints, there is little interaction between user and tool. Once started, the application automatically scans for typesets and loads them into the main working list. Entries are sorted alphabetically; an option to view the date on which entries were installed would have surely been highly useful and should be considered in future versions.

The sample text box can be used to test any typeset found on the system. This is a nice feature since multiple fonts can be verified, before actually deciding on one. The size of the text can also be modified.

To conclude, Litfont is highly intuitive font viewer that will suit anyone that regularly installs new typesets. The resource is streamlined for improved user-experience and a sample box allows users to text their fonts before actually employing them in their projects.
