darcshadow 1,641 Posted October 6, 2015 Just found a nice way to preview all installed fonts using MS Word. You create a simple macro in word and it will then generate a file with all your fonts. You can edit the macro so that the sample of the font says what ever you like. http://exde601e.blogspot.com/2009/12/view-all-installed-fonts-with-microsoft.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpaperman 719 Posted October 6, 2015 I tried it and it told me I only have 30 fonts on my computer....LOL WRONG! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jburns 239 Posted October 6, 2015 I like to use Fontview OK- 4.06- its a free tiny program that works well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,641 Posted October 6, 2015 xpaperman, try running it a second time. It did that for me too, first time only found like 31 fonts, second time found 300 and some. Jburns, I like Fontview as well, but it doesn't give you an option to save a file off that you can edit and send out to someone to pick a font they like. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted October 6, 2015 300 font? lol Might need to add a zero to that for many of us. It's an addiction 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OWJones 1,981 Posted October 7, 2015 xpaperman, try running it a second time. It did that for me too, first time only found like 31 fonts, second time found 300 and some. First time it found 33 fonts - second time it found 1284 fonts... I still like using Printer's Apprentice for my font cataloging needs.

OWJones 1,981 Posted October 7, 2015 I didn't know there were that many fonts in existence... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted October 7, 2015 Yikes! dc I almost don't feel sorry for you. I have at current count 2310 and spent enough time poking through them that I bought Find My Font to save time. Here is a screen shot of the layout from my font manager (FontAgent Pro). It works great and seamless with AI on my mac. I keep a lot of them shut off if I don't need them so that it doesn't bog the computer down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KYSIGN 233 Posted October 7, 2015 I have enough fonts that none of the font programs work. The programs show the correct name but display the wrong font. Even worse is that if I attempt to add/remove a font using the program it adds/removes the wrong font. I don't have anywhere near the amount that dcbevins has either.

KYSIGN 233 Posted October 7, 2015 +1 on findmyfont. I recently purchased the program and it has already paid for itself in time saved. I was using the whatthefont capture/upload that's built into corel draw x7 but it doesn't compare to findmyfont. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vitaman 27 Posted October 28, 2016 Thanks for this thread. I didn't know such programs were available. I was manually going through the list in Vinyl Master to see what certain words would look like in different fonts. A pain to say the least. This should make life easier. Now to decide which ones to try... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
