I can't comment on the quality of these, but I gather FontCat, Font Pilot and FontThing. Until then, this is yours, dear denizens of Macdom.

It is possible to zoom in and out on any Mac computer using a keyboard or trackpad. Save it, print it, or just gaze at it rapturously. Otherwise, you might want to look at a dedicated inexpensive or free utility that really just does previewing of uninstalled fonts. The document this program produces is a plain old Rich Text document full of all your fonts. Have you completely exhausted all the OS preview options? Any chance you'll upgrade to Leopard? This article offers some useful tips for font previewing in Leopard, not sure if they work in Tiger: This page can help you understand the basic. (If you don't know what font management is, see the second paragraph of my blog post on Windows font management, here. Removals on macOS are quite different from those on Microsoft Windows OS. If you need the other features of font management, then they can be great. These also offer a lot of other features, but are retail programs that cost a bit of money. Mac and Windows PC Fonts - Acute Systems TrueType and OpenType Fonts.

I *think* any of them can be set to work with the fonts in place, but you may need to adjust app preferences so they don't copy all those fonts to your hard drive when you bring them into the app. Instant downloads for 765 free mac fonts.
except that they prefer to work with fonts on your hard drive rather than on a non-writeable removeable disk. This isn't necessary, it's just a neatnick thing.On the one hand, a regular font management application such as the ones you mention, or my employer's own Suitcase Fusion ( ), will do the job really well. This eliminates the need to keep track of the bitmap and PostScript versions. Speaking of PostScript Fonts, I've converted most of my PostScript fonts to OpenType using FontXChange. OS X has it's own font organization scheme, which is another reason not to use FontDoctor to rearrange your fonts, unless you organize them within their installed locations so that the system and your applications can still find them. You would do better to use the font organization app built into OS X, Font Book-if you don't want to buy a major font utility like FontExplorer or Suitcase. Of course you will need some basic knowledge about where OS X installs fonts before you can do this properly.įontDoctor's weakest aspect is font organization. It might be easier to install OS X on an external hard drive and replace the corrupted fonts (that cannot be fixed) with the clean versions in the OS X (macOS now) install. If the corrupted fonts are among the fonts installed by OS X, then you may have to reinstall the system. You can also find replacements online, but they usually cost money.

FontDoc is a dead-simple program which shows you all of the fonts on your system-or even uninstalled fonts-using any text and any size you choose. Other times there are compatibility issues, though that's unlikely to be the case unless you're running OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard because this version of FontDoctor is compatible with systems back as far as OS X 10.7, Lion, which is rare these days. Some people's first reaction is to blame the software because that's easier than actually diagnosing the problem. That's often the case when software doesn't work. I suspect that if Font Doctor is crashing on you there is something wrong with your system that needs fixing. You can also save the fonts as an RTF document. You can choose from the Font groups that come with your Mac or show all fonts. As it happens, I collected the fonts from AppleWorks 6 back in the day and there are Open Type versions of each of the bitmap fonts, so I replaced the bitmap versions with the otf versions and my installed fonts scanned clean. FontDoc FontDoc shows a list of all your fonts in one window, with each font listed in that font, making it easy to compare typefaces.
FD did find some bitmap fonts in my /Library/Fonts folder that had no matching PostScript version. Though because I've been using Font Doctor for so long (my oldest receipt is dated February 2002) I rarely find a corrupted font anymore. I've never had a problem with the basic functions of Font Doctor, including version 10.2.3.
