| 401079 | 2005-11-01 08:12:00 | Hi Team I'm trying to help No.1 son prepare a CD cover he's working on as a school project, and he needs a particular style of font. I have a commercial CD that has 2600 fonts on it, and I would like to preview them directly off the CD. Does anybody know of a free font viewer that can read off a CD and show more than just a few example characters. Ideally I'd like to be able to look at a full alphabet. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 401080 | 2005-11-01 08:38:00 | try this adobe (www.adobe.com) one, it's free but you have to register, not sure if this will work | plod (107) | ||
| 401081 | 2005-11-01 09:01:00 | Thanks Plod. I took a look but it doesn't seem to be viewer as such so, I think I'll have to keep casting the net. Cheers Billy 8-{) :( |

| 401082 | 2005-11-01 09:09:00 | Most of the font CDs I have ever looked at have had a viewer on them. | Jeremy (1197) | ||
| 401083 | 2005-11-01 09:21:00 | Not this one unfortunately. :( I looked there first, Googled second and then came to PF1. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 401087 | 2005-11-01 20:18:00 | what do you usally use to view fonts? Surely what ever program you use can read off a cd? I don't usually view fonts, and the viewers in the programs I use (Word etc) can only view installed fonts, otherwise I wouldn't ask. There is no way I would over 2500 fonts just to view them. However, thanks to beama I have found and installed "The Font Thing" which does exactly what I want, and then some! Top quality freeware beama, I'll get No. 1 son to sacrifice several goats or one political correctness eradicator in your name. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D (Happy chappie) |
