Font Viewer is a font viewer; it views fonts!

In the simplest of terms this is a program that allows you to view large portions of your installed font families with their various styles.

The application renders all installed font families in a scrollable grid view. It allows you to change the font size, color, background color and text to be displayed. It has a built in list feature that allows you to select fonts and then store the names, this acts much like a light-box on the various stock image websites. You can export your list to .txt or .fv for later use and we also added a feature that will export your list to .pdf with the all styles applied.

This tool is by no means revolutionary but as a designer you might find it quite helpful when trying to find that perfect font for a piece of copy or a new logo.

Well honestly what more can I say, just give it a try! If you are a designer I think you will find Font Viewer really helpful.

** Font Viewer requires Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86), you can download it here, NET Framework Version 2.0. **

Font Viewer actually has a long standing history with us. Back in the late 90's we decided to make a quick application that allowed us to view all our fonts and their styles. We were getting sick of our other methods of trying to decide on what font to use for what copy or what font to use for a new logo etc …

So we created this simple application that displayed all our fonts in a grid with their various styles, this way we could scroll through them fast and easy. It really cut down the time that went into the decision making process.

Many years later we decided to spiff up the old Font Viewer and make it a free public tool for others to use. I hope it helps you like it has helped us!
