RunesageMagi,I seem to have greatly benefited from this thread. I have all these managers working in XP just fine. The Font Thing is very nice as is Font Picker and CFont Pro. I've decided if I can have multiple graphic editors and buku versions of match 3 and breakout games, I can also keep and use multiple font editors!(Ah, the games one plays with ones mind)*giggle* I have used one old screen capture app and one font manager since the dawn of time! No more! They each have some strong points that are well worth keeping.
I realized today with a bit of shock and horror, that I had gathered all my fonts on one small external drive in an attempt to corral them all and find a way to get them usable, I haven't backed up this drive...I could have lost the whole collection!!! I have bits and pieces backed up of course, but real gems could have been lost as I'm always finding a couple of new goodies here and there, fifteen new ones yesterday alone! Thank you Dc1337... you have added to my addiction. I snagged a few off your list.
I briefly checked out Typograf and the fact that it compares fonts across multiple drives would be worth the d/l. I think it would make an excellent GAOTD!
Has anyone found a free font editor? There are times I need to make small changes in a few characters of decorative text. I do them by hand but it is not as accurate as I would like. The only editor I've seen is a little pricey for me and filled with bells and whistles I don't want or need.
This isn't a font link, but I stumbled on it yesterday and had to give it a quick try...just a toy, but if you want a laugh, it's tiny and free.
