WHAT IS FONTVIEW?

Selected by MacUser Magazine as one of the "...12 essential desktop publishing utilities..." and awarded four mice by MacWorld Online, FontView is a Mac OS application that displays a font's full character set.

Characters (or glyphs) can be examined closely by simply double-clicking on a character in the window. Other options supply information on the current type face and FOND, FONT/NFNT, TrueType, and PostScript font resources. FontView can also be used preview fonts before installing them in your system by letting you open font suitcase files.
