Font Examiner CommentaryOK but - Version: 3.0, 10/28/2006 09:15AM PST

it does not work with Photoshop 7. Will not even cut and paste into it. Must add the ability to use the keyboard to select characters in display window.

Unable to resize window displaying fonts which makes them very small and unreadable. Also unable to get keystroke info for e.g. Zapf Dingbats (only way of getting a particular character from Zapf Dingbats is to copy+paste them individually into to e.g. Photoshop). Having to scroll ages to find the actual characters is an enormous waste of time, even though Glyph mode seems to help slightly. Still a wasted opportunity.

This is an app to get, especially for graphic designers and anyone who loves type. The version 2.x is a great improvement over 1.x, and I especially l like the new "Glyph" view. Although it has gone from freeware to shareware, I think $10 is reasonable, considering how useful it has been to me over the years.
