In my Windows 98 I was using "The Font Thing", but alas the old girl died.
Having updated to XP with so many (expensive) upgrades, I am just wondering what you good folk are using to view fonts, that is, if I type in the word "SIGNS", the word signs is viewable in each font style installed. Preferably free.
Cheers - Gregg

Thanks for that Ian, I had a problem, all downloads seemed to be zip, I tried the exe, but said it was missing some file. In the download, there were a bazillion zip files, all seperate. My puter knowledge does not extend that far. Any help?
Cheers
PS, the last file I downloaded onto 98 was just one file and installed perfectly

At work, use TFT (The Font Thing) with XP. For my own use, prefer Maintype by High-Logic. TFT is free & Maintype must be paid for. I load fonts alot instead of installing & like Maintype better.
