FontBuddy CommentaryAmeslan, Print Index… - Version: 2.2.1, 4/24/2003 11:20PM PST

prints a 2 or 3 column index of your fonts (installed or not) with 1 to 4 sample lines for each font. Print Page prints a page for each font, showing all characters and a sample text at 3 different sizes. This application was developped for a friend in DTP and the print out is designed to meet the needs of that friend (index for him, sample page for the client).

great for font designers, but it is very lacking for desktop publishers. All I need is a program that will print out a WYSIWYG sample line for all my fonts as well as multiple-sample sheet for each of selected fonts that a client might want. This product doesn't meet that need. There are other less expensive products available here that do that and more.

FontBuddy ReviewTWO THUMBS UP!… - Version: 2.2, 1/1/2003 12:02PM PST

I create fonts and I needed a simple, effective customizable font previewer to view my fonts without having to open them up in Extensis Suitcase. I tried: Granite, Font Pilot, FontViewer 1.5 and each of these failed the simple test of being able to do the above in a simplistic manner. Your Font Buddy rocks. Easy to customize for printing out sample sheets, the keystroke chart with grid etc. is absolutely great!!! Exactly what I was hoping to find. I'll be dishing out the coin for this app. Good Job. My only request: Come out with the exact same app but able to run on OSX JAG! Don't change the functionality, it works great as is. Just carbonize it.
