Font Tools

The Font Thing, by Sue Fisher -- Freeware

 

Manage and organize your TrueType fonts. Browse installed and uninstalled fonts, view sample text and specific characters as well as manipulate their formatting, access detailed font information, print font samples, install and uninstall any number of fonts simultaneously, and load any number of fonts for temporary use.

In addition, you can drag and drop font files between folders, associate notes with fonts, select colors, rename font files, filter fonts according to their type, and organize fonts into collections.
