FontSelector
FontSelector is a simple freeware font viewer for the 32-bit Windows Family (Windows 95, 98, NT4 and NT5). It gives you a quick and easy way to browse and print all your installed fonts.
I’ve tried to make this program as simple as possible. Therefore I decided to split the program into four tabs – If you just want to browse your fonts, use the first tab. If you want a little information about a selected font, click the second tab. If you want to change some of the settings, click the third-tab and finally, if you want to know something about, where you can get the newest release, click the fourth tab.
If you would like to install, delete or print fonts from a cd-rom or your hard drive, take a look at another of my products: FontLister. The latest version of FontLister is not freeware (costs $5), but you can still download the older version 2.0 for free – they both received maximum rating (5 stars) from ZDNet Interactive and a Get It from WinFilesjust to mention a few. If you would like to download a copy of it, check the FontLister-homepage.
