A handy font previewing tool
PrintMyFonts is a font program by Stefan Trost Media that can be used on desktop devices. It’s a free tool that can help users browse and preview text fonts that are installed on their computers. They can choose to view fonts that come pre-installed on their system or those coming from third-party sources.
PrintMyFonts is similar to another tool called FontAgent, both of which allow for easy browsing and previewing of fonts. What’s more, this portable program lets users directly print to paper once they’re done. Alternatively, they can opt to export their preferred font to various file formats supported.
How do I use PrintMyFonts?
First and foremost, PrintMyFonts does not come with any kind of font of its own. It solely serves as a tool to browse and preview what is already installed and available on your device. Its UI is simple and intuitive, utilizing a dual-pane layout. The left side houses a list of all your fonts. Meanwhile, the right side has various options and customizable parameters offered.
The right pane starts with filtering between system fonts, installed fonts, or both. You can also search for a font by name if you’re familiar with it. Next, there is a default sample text in place, but you can set any custom text that you want. Furthermore, you can opt to show just letters or include numbers, as well. Styles like bolded or italicized are available if you want to apply them to your text.
When you have found a font or set of fonts that you like, you can immediately proceed to printing them. You can also just export them to various file formats, such as images, documents, or even HTML for use with other applications. One thing to note is that PrintMyFonts does not recognize all font styles. Those that come from other sources or those that feature unique designs might not display correctly.
A unified font previewing utility
If you find yourself in a situation where you need to browse and preview various fonts for use in certain applications, PrintMyFonts might help you out. It simplifies the entire process by providing an intuitive and unified user interface to search easier and faster. What’s more, you can print samples right away or export them to a format of your choice for future reference and use.
