Publisher's description of The Font Thing
From Sue Fisher:Browse installed and uninstalled TrueType fonts, viewing sample text, individual characters, and detailed font information. Easy font-management functions let you install, uninstall, print, copy, or delete any number of fonts at once. You can even store your own notes with them, filter them according to type (serif, sans serif, and so on), and group them into collections for convenience. This version lets you choose your font colors, set up drop-down lists of standard text samples, rename font files to avoid conflicts, and load fonts temporarily for use without installing them.

Version: The Font Thing 0.8
Pros: Neat, easy to use font browser and manager. Very easy to choose, install, uninstall and compare fonts. You can even choose your own sample text, and enlarge any character to examine it in detail. The file handling side works flawlessly - fonts can be installed from portable media, or from download locations, uninstalled, and deleted, with the minimum of fuss.
Cons: What's to dislike? It's even free...

"Great for viewing all your fonts."
Pros: I recommend this software to all people who have a lot of fonts on their computer. You can view the name of your fonts and how they look and select the ones you want to install into your fonts folder. Great for fonts you downloaded or the ones that didn't come already installed.

Version: The Font Thing 0.8
"Just what I was looking for..."
Pros: I have been looking everywhere for a program that will display fonts in a list like this. I am a graphic designer and have over 1000 fonts, to look through them all to find the one I want was aweful. This program was just what I was looking for. Thank you!!!
Cons: Haven't found any cons yet.

Version: The Font Thing 0.8
"Great, simple font browser, simplifies the search for an appropriate font."
Pros: Able to preview fonts in the text and size of your choice, with multiple font types at once. You can also quickly look at all characters of a particular font, with their keys and shortcuts.
Simple and easy interface, this is good as multiple fonts create a lot of clutter so no fancy interface is necessary.
Cons: If you have a font archive that's fairly huge - say, a couple of thousand, I wouldn't recommend this program. Because, when you open TFT up, it automatically creates a list of all available fonts and their previews, which can easily crash the program if it's crunching through thousands. With smaller amounts though, this is an excellent tool.
