ShowFont is a Windows utility designed to list the
fonts available on your system, show some of the
characteristic properties of each font, and display a
text sample - or character table - for the font.
ShowFont provides more detailed information on fonts
than conventional font display programs - or the
Windows' Fonts applet. This detail includes: Style -
Weight & Orientation (Regular, Italic, Bold, etc.);
Size - Both Points and Pixel Size (Width x Height);
Character Set (ANSI, OEM, SYMBOL, etc.); Pitch (Fixed
or Proportional); Type (Raster or Scalable); Family
(Modern, Swiss, etc.); Face Name (which is often very
different from the File name); Display Name (which
often contains more information than the Face name);
File Name (as recorded in the Windows' Registry);
ShowFont also allows you to: Resize and reposition the
dialog; Show just Monospaced (Fixed pitch) or Variable
pitch fonts; Show just Raster (bitmapped) or Scalable
fonts; Show some sample text - or an ASCII character
table, and Edit the sample text. The ShowFont dialog
can be resized - and repositioned - even on
multi-monitor systems. The program automatically saves
your settings and preferences and restores them when it
is run again.
