The REAL benefit of this against the others is it's ability to allow you to type your headline or whatever and then view it in all installed fonts. You can then select several fonts and compare against each other, plus check what each font looks like in bold, italic, underline. Up and down arrow buttons allow enlargement and reduction of font size. Bulletproof UI and a minimal ask of the CPU and memory. Far and away the best I've used.

Why? Because when I was trying yesterday the SITE WOULDN'T LOAD!!! It would be nice if there were some provision for things like this. Maybe having users send an email (which would be time stamped) so that they could receive in return a link that would allow them another shot at it.

FontManager looks better IMHO. But when it says "The program is available for $29.95, but it will be free for our visitors as a time-limited offer." does this mean the program will cease operating one day? Or is it good forever? I'm always suspicious when it says time-limited offer. I installed TheFontThing and then I installed FontManager from GOTD. FontManager looks better IMHO.

I have been back twice today ... finally decided to give this one a try and love it! So much easier than my 'old-way'. The dsl download/install took only a few moments, with an easy copy/paste reg code and that was it = easiest download that I have done in a long time! Runs great on my Windows XP system - I love the 'moon phases' font. Thanks. Thanks for today’s offering … I have been back twice today … finally decided to give this one a try and love it!

Unless a freeware program is really exceptional, this would be enough to make me pass on it. Font Thing is a 1999 program!

Some of the fonts I've downloaded in the past looked easy to read on their sample pages, but when I actually tried to use them, proved to be difficult for other people to try to read! This is great, to be able to see all the fonts so I can sort them into categories and only load the ones that I really need, into Windows itself. Still, as always, I'll check out the freeware links and add them to a list I have so that if I ever have HD crash, I have sources for more freeware alternatives to this program.

However, the install was easy and while I still have some exploring to do, this is very well done. Simple, but with the functions I need. When you're doing graphic design, finding the right font can be a pain - especially when you have thousands (seriously). With this program, I can type in the text I'm working with and then browse the fonts. The real treat being able to load the fonts I haven't installed for comparison. GAotD may not always have something I'm interested in, but today I got something for FREE that is worth more than the price I paid ($0 out of pocket). That makes up for all the days I skip on.
