This is an excellent utility. The one problem I had is that I typed in some text containing a few English words, plus three words set in Cyrillic, and diacritics for my working Latin-alphabet languages, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, hoping to be able to tell at a glance which fonts had these glyphs and which did not. UNFORTUNATELY, the application called on other fonts in the system to draw the missing glyphs, as if ALL the fonts had all these glyphs. This defeats the purpose of the printout for my ends. :-/ It would be wonderful if a new version would simply leave spaces where the missing glyphs are, or print underscore, hyphens, rectangles or whatever in their place. That way I could tell which fonts can be used for multi-language documents, or documents in Russian, etc. Please consider this option. I would guess it requires taking away the code that substitutes fonts for missing glyphs. THAN YOU for a WONDERFUL, POWERFUL utility!
