Useless because of bizarre limitations
There are two limitations that make this completely useless for me. One: This will not recognize Type 1 fonts. Why in the world would someone make a font app that can’t handle the second-most common font format? Two: The function that lets you print a font sample sheet (of uninstalled fonts) only works with ONE FONT AT A TIME. So if you’ve got thousands of fonts and you want to make a sample book, you’ll need to take a few years off to one-at-a-time this thing. I spent ten dollars on something completely useless.
Font size
I would like to be able to control the size of the browser — it's way to huge — takes up almost my whole screen.
Works great with OpenType.
I haven't attempted to load T1 or T3 fonts but this app works great for both OTF and TTF. If you're looking to peruse your fonts without waiting for the font cache to update after adding & removing fonts then this app is what you're looking for.
Dosn’t Recognize Fonts
I purchased this app because it allows you preview fonts without installing them, but after installing it I found out that it doesn’t recognize important font formats like PostScript Type 1 and Font Suitcase files. As a long-time designer I have many fonts in these formats which I need to be able to see. To me this is not worth the $10 if I can’t use it on most of my fonts. The program itself seems well made other than being limited in application.
Works Great
Able to see all the options of a font which enables me to make some awesome crafts!
