Topic: Font viewer

Just wondered if any members used a font viewer. If so any recommendations?   I have looked at this one but have not decided yet. Cheers Vicki

Re: Font viewer

AMP Font Viewer was very good in its day, but I don’t think it’s being actively developed: the website includes a note for users of Windows Vista/7!

Xiles NexusFont is completely free and it’s easy to use. High-Logic MainType is packed with useful features, but the free version has a limit of 2500 fonts and it’s only licensed for non-commercial use.

Alfred I have downloaded and installed  High-Logic MainType will try and get to grips with this program. Bhikkhu Pesala in the other Forum appears to use this program and has done some tutorials on it up on Vimeo.  Thanks for your pointers once again. Vicki

I've been using NexusFont for years. Very easy to use; I just have to remember to open it before I start up CraftArtist or whatever, so they are available to be seen in the progs.

Thanks, Karen. I thought I remembered your being a long-standing NexusFont user!
