Product Description:

Often, I will design a brochure, ad, or other piece that I need to find a font to use, so I start the process of entering the text and select each font out of the menu one font at a time to see which font I like best. With hundreds of fonts this can take a long time. "Fonts in Action" speeds this process up by showing the text in all of the different fonts at the same time. You can then copy and paste the version you want into your word processor or graphic design program.

In Mac OS 10.3, Apple's FontBook application replaced KeyCaps. KeyCaps had an advantage that you could try the fonts and the cut and paste an extended character without having to figure out what key combination to type. FontBook does not allow cutting and pasting so it is very difficult to figure out what key combination to use to enter some special characters. Fonts in Action makes it easy.

  • Feature added: Check for Updates

Fonts in Action ReviewNice idea... - Version: 1.1, 12/8/2004 03:07PM PST

...but I'm repeatedly getting "An exception of class OutOfBoundsException was not handled. The application must shut down." when clicking in the window after the application creates the font samples. Clicking in the bottommost visible line of text seems to invoke this error most consistently.

Normally I would post this as a commentary, but want to give it four stars to offset the previous crank's rating.
