Do you know how many fonts are currently installed on your PC?

What is the difference between OpenType, TrueType, PostScript

Type 1 and Printer fonts? If the answer is 'No', it's time to

consider getting a font organizer.



Typograf



This extremely well-done 32-bit app lets you preview, print, and

manage TrueType and Type 1 fonts. You can use it to view font

samples, whether the fonts are installed or not; sort font

previews by filename, directory, font name, size, date, kerning

pairs, copyright, and more; display a font's properties,

including general, metric, and kerning information; and check

out a typeface to see what (if any) extended characters it has.



You can also use Typograf to compare fonts, print several types

of sample pages, organize fonts into a database, and place fonts

into groups that can be instantly activated and deactivated. If

you're a real font fanatic, you'll appreciate the excellent

typeface tutorial in the Help file, complete with a typeface

history. Other features include the ability to search for

duplicates; shortcuts to Control Panel, Adobe Type Manager (if

installed), and the Registry Editor; and the ability to see the

keyboard layout of each font.

CrossFont



CrossFont for Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 and XP can convert

TrueType and PostScript Type1 fonts between Macintosh and PC

platforms. The program converts PostScript Type 1 fonts between

Windows PC and Macintosh as well as TrueType fonts between

Windows PC and Macintosh. It also generates missing supporting

font files (AFM, PFM, INF, PFA, etc.) and supports OS X data

fork fonts (.dfont).



When CrossFont is used, character outlines, metrics and hinting

are preserved. You can also drop font files and folders onto

main window for easy recognition. In addition to that, the

program automatically determines font file types and

automatically searches folders and subfolders for supported file

types (and automatically assigns kerning if it exists, too).



Other handy features include right click menu for fast operation

and recorgnition for files from Mac file systems on NT (SFM

Services).
