Followed by Fontographer which will convert all Mac fonts to PC fonts and vice versa. |

| 570316 | 2007-07-22 00:55:00 | I haven't come used any program which can manage/activate/deactivate fonts on Windows yet (Suitcase for Windows probably does but I haven't used it on Windows yet) but have used some good little font tools that I think warrant mention. Before I break into that,I can mention Linotype has their font management software floating around, FontExplorer X (www.linotype.com) although I haven't used it and it looks like a front for selling fonts (in a friendly way, I'm sure). The first is dp4 Font Viewer (us.fontviewer.de) and is just a "View All + filters" for fonts on Windows. Nice handy little app at 114KB, dump in the Windows folder and launch with "Win+R > fonts". ˙ɥƃn ɐ l pooƃ ɐ sı pu ɐ oƃ ɐ sʞǝǝʍ ɟo ǝldnoɔ ɐ spunoɹ ǝɥʇ ǝuop ʇı ˙dılɟ (www.revfad.com) ʇno ʞɔǝɥɔ u ɐ ɔ noʎ ssǝuʎuunɟ ǝuıluo ǝɯos ɹoɟ Another online font thing is Font Browser (www.stcassociates.com), a flash font "app". |
