Character Map Pro v1.5 [202k] W9x/NT FREE     GnomeDESKTOP
When you're editing a rich text document, sometimes it's nice to see what a font looks like before you use it. Some fonts don't look superb at smaller point sizes (like detailed dingbats), so in order to see characters in all their glory, you need to increase the font size a little bit. The default character map is obsolete, thanks to (a non-Microsoft) Character Map Pro. You can resize the character preview window to any size, large or small, in real-time.


Cfont Pro v1.6 [223k] W9x/2K FREE     Checkit out

GnomeDESKTOP
Cfont Pro allows you to quickly view all fonts currently loaded on your system. You can scroll through each font with a custom preview of your choice (background color, text color, and text displayed). In addition, the program lets you preview and install fonts from any directory, CD, or folder without having to install them first. The built in slideshow feature allows you to cycle through all your fonts and preview them without user intervention


FontLoader v1.0.1 [480k] W9x/NT FREE    
[ dead link ]
GnomeDESKTOP
I'm sure Lockergnome is just one of your sources for finding new fonts. I've been asked quite a few times: "Once I've downloaded a font, how do I get that sucker installed?" Well, it usually just takes a drag & drop into the Font folder, but with this fantastic new shell extension, you can right-click on a font and find four new options: Load, Unload, Install, and Uninstall. NOTE: to use this proggie, you must first find the password on the Moon Software products page.


Font Matcher v1.1b [148k] W9x/NT FREE     Visit Site

GnomeDESKTOP
{Revolutionary font face finder} My, that's quite a unique typeface; what's it called? "I can't remember." It looks original, how could you recall its name? "It's not my fault; I have hundreds of TTFs." You're far from alone. Fontaholics fill up folders fast, but they often forget what each face is named. Take a bitmap of any font character and this program will compare it to the fonts in your collection. It'll display every possible match.
