Slow to load, but great little tool - Version: 1.4.5, 6/17/2005 01:50PM PST

I like this product but when I had 300+ fonts loaded, it took forever to load the list. I had the program set to NOT clear the list so that it would read the same fonts next time it opens, but it just takes a while to load.
That said, I like that I can preview (with custom text) a font that isn't installed.

Best font viewer since Font Gander Pro - Version: 1.4.5, 3/2/2005 10:03AM PST

Thank you! At last! This is what I´ve been looking for since Font Gander Pro. I have only started my evaluation today but FontThing seems to be working just fine on my Mac (Mac OS X, 10.3.7). Drag ´n drop, nice and easy, no need to activate all fonts, printable. If I find any bugs I will report them. Many happy regards, Clarendon
Installing fonts as you go is nifty but of course it would be better if this thing would communicate with font managers (like Font Explorer) and generate its own set within FEX. Displaying only one face of a subfolder is not a problem but I wish I could open subfolders by hitting arrow-right (as you can move between fonts with arrow-down and -up). Might also be nice in logowork if size would go up to 200pt.
