PC-Freebies

Windows doesn’t provide you an interface for managing all your fonts and this is where a great piece of free software comes into play called Font Xplorer.  This application allows you to find, manage and print installed and non-installed fonts on your computer system.  It will also let you search and identify duplicate fonts from the dozens or hundreds of fonts already installed so you can delete them.

Some basic features of Font Xplorer are:

• Print predesigned professional sample sheets of your fonts.
• Save bitmap images of your fonts.
• Find the perfect font to use with an easy compare viewer.
• Zoom feature allows you to get a closer look at the characters.
• Rename the font files so they are easily identifiable.

What I like most about Font Xplorer is that you have an in-depth look at all the fonts installed on your Windows PC.  Scroll through them and delete the ones you know you will never use to save space and system resources.
