View and manage your font collection with FontExpert

August 27, 2006 in Software | Permalink

Screengrab_12 Surprisingly there are some essential applications missing from Windows. Mac OS X ships with a font manager called Font Book, which enables you to to quickly view and manage your font collection. Want to add a new font to the operating system? You can just import or drag it in to Font Book. You can easily remove fonts, too.

Within Windows, you're given a Fonts folder. Nothing more. You can view your fonts, but you can't analyse the collection as a whole, search for problematic fonts, duplicates, nor can you understand why a certain font appears within one Windows application, but not in another (most likely as it is an Adobe Type 1 font).

Font Expert 2006 is a recently released, well designed font manager for Windows, supporting all font formats. Download yourself and offer us your feedback.
