About Font Mate
Font Mate is a simple program to
help you see how fonts look on your computer, and to help
you find symbol characters.
Using Font Mate
There isn't much to it: Font Mate
shows you a list of all the fonts installed on your
computer. Choose any font from the list and it will show
you what all the characters in that font look like. Choose
any one of those characters and you will see an enlarged
version of it at the bottom of the page (with its ASCII
code in decimal and hex, should you be interested). You can
copy any character to the clipboard. You will also see some
sample text (a random
pangram plus numbers) but you can
write your own if you prefer. You can print out a
sample sheet for any font.
Works on...
We wrote Font Mate originally for Mac
OS X, but we have included versions for Windows and Linux
too. We wrote it using REALbasic, a great tool for
cross-platform rapid development. Source is available
on request.
How much?
Font Mate is freeware.
Download, use, share as you wish.
No warranty is offered, and we accept no liability for
anything strange or nasty that it might do to your
computer.
