S-soft Font Browser

Just like handwriting differs from one individual to the next, computer text can be changed, with a staggering amount, and variety of fonts to use. Most editors let you use any of the installed fonts, but if you’re not really sure which one is best for your project, then S-soft Font Browser helps you compare, and decide.

The application requires no installation to function, so you can go ahead and launch it right after download. This also means you can store it on a thumb drive to carry around, and use on other PCs. Another perk of portability in this case is that system registries are not modified during the process, thus keeping the health status of the target PC intact.

On the visual side of things, all features are found in a classic window frame, which is pretty intuitive in design as well. A large preview panel shows text samples under different attributes, like bold, italic, and underline, with a side panel making navigation, and font selection easy. In case you’re interested in a specific font, search options can be used to jump to it directly, either by name, or index number.

The settings tab holds a few text adjustment options for sample, background color, as well as sample color. You can replace sample text with a custom string to check out display of specific characters. Switching to the characters design lets you browse through all of them found in the selected set, with an option to view the keyboard button which creates it.

Multiple instances of the application can be launched at the same time, in case you want to compare without switching fonts in a single interface. A list of all installed fonts can be exported under the TXT format. Sadly, not all character encodings are supported, with slight chances to find placeholders every now and then.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that S-soft Font Browser is sure to help you pick the right font for your new projects. The interface is no less than intuitive, with a clear navigation panel, neat preview area with picture pan option, and possibility to keep more instance on screen for better comparison.
