Find the best font using Font preview

[digibum (Matej Krhin)]

When I create new designs, I often find it very difficult to find a font that suits the design. Therefore, I frequently copy the text and apply a different font to each copy, then I choose the one that suits me best.

I would suggest a window where my text would be displayed in all the different fonts installed on my computer.

For example, right-clicking on the text would open a context menu where I could select a font preview option. This would open a window where the text would be displayed in all possible fonts. Clicking on one would apply the selected font to text.

An alternative to this would be for the font selection dropdown menu to already display the selected text in each individual font. However, would this likely slow down the program significantly?

Please provide your comments, suggestions, and improvements.

Best regards!

There’s a free program called Nexusfont Font Manager you can use. It will display all the fonts installed on your computer. You can also print a list of all your fonts. Very handy.

Simple, easy and well designed softwares

Some folks have thousands of fonts installed, so generating the contents of that window would likely drag the machine to its knees for quite a while.

Double-clicking on the text opens the Text Editor window, clicking the font dropdown opens a list of all the fonts, and the highlighted font is applied to the text:

That isn’t quite All The Fonts At Once, but scrolling down through the list is a quick way to check them out.
