Font Viewer for Inkscape & Windows?

Postby hhtmp88 » Wed Dec 16, 2009 5:42 pm

Dear all,

I wonder if there is a Font Viewer for Inkscape & windows?
-> so that I can type a line of text and "see" how each font look like
-> and there are "A B C.... Z" tabs, so that when I click on tab "A", all fonts starting with "a" or "A" are listed out with examples text
-> and I can save a list of my favorite fonts

Hope that I am not too demanding!

Thanks for any kind of help!

I have used several font viewers in Windows in the past but lately I have been stuck on AMP Font Viewer (http://www.ampsoft.net/utilities/). It does exactly what I want it to do and it's really simple to use.

Your mind is what you think it is.

Thanks heathenx & druban for your kindly advice!

but... as AMP Font Viewer is free and hence downloaded, installed
-> and... looks good for English Fonts!

It's pity that it cannot display Chinese Characters correctly, all rotated 90 deg.

I like to use The Font Thing: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~scef/tft.html

but I have no idea if it supports anything other than english charactersets. (It is 10 years old...but works well for my uses and is free.)
