ShowInstalledFonts

ShowInstalledFonts is a small software application developed specifically for helping you check out all installed fonts with some examples. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

The program can be opened directly from the storage device without having to go through an installation process. Plus, you may open it without administrative privileges. A simple double-click on the executable file allows you to access its GUI.

It does not leave remnants in your Windows registry and create other setup files on the host PC so you can get rid of it via a simple deletion task of the files that you have downloaded from the Internet.

ShowInstalledFonts reveals nothing more than a straightforward layout that can be decoded in a short amount of time. You cannot appeal to a help manual, but you can set up the dedicated parameters on your own because they look highly intuitive.

The application offers you the possibility to check out a list with all installed fonts. The list is automatically loaded as soon as you run the utility. You can browse throughout the entire collection with fonts and check out sample text. Plus, you are allowed to add custom text to test how a specific font looks like.

Tests have pointed out that ShowInstalledFonts carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

On the downside, there’s no support for advanced features so professional users may be disappointed by the poor support for configuration settings. You cannot print the list with fonts and export the information to TXT and other file formats, group the fonts into different categories, compare fonts, install or uninstall them, and alter the sample/custom text messages in terms of size, font, and color.

The bottom line is that ShowInstalledFonts proves to be handy only if you look for nothing more than a simple software solution for viewing a list with all fonts installed on your computer. It is suitable especially for less experienced users.
