The Jackal Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: The Dark Side of the Moon Insane since: Jun 2000	posted 12-09-2003 18:54 OK, so I have a buttload of fonts and I am sick and tired of cycling though them one at a time in PS to see if it will match my design. Memorizing them all is out of the question because 1) My mind is already crammed with enough useless information and 2) There are to damn many to make it a possibility. So... Does anyone know of prog that allows you to view fonts as thumbnails, or something like that? Thanks.

OK, so I have a buttload of fonts and I am sick and tired of cycling though them one at a time in PS to see if it will match my design. Memorizing them all is out of the question because 1) My mind is already crammed with enough useless information and 2) There are to damn many to make it a possibility.

So...

Does anyone know of prog that allows you to view fonts as thumbnails, or something like that? Thanks.
