FontFolder is a shareware native OS/2 Font Manager that allows you to
easily use large collections of Type 1 fonts in OS/2 without bogging
down the system or generating hopelessly long font selection lists in
applications. You can have rapid access to hundreds or even thousands
of fonts while keeping only a small number actually installed in OS/2
at any time.
New in Version 2.0:
* Print a variety of font related sample sheets, whether or
not the fonts are currently installed in OS/2.
- Specimen Sheets various text samples of single font
- Character Sets all characters for current code page for single
font
- Font Catalog one line samples of a collection of fonts
- Font List file names and locations for a collection of
fonts
Supports duplex printing, customization of margins, descriptive fonts,
text used in print samples.
Location: FontFolder Version 2.0 can be downloaded from the following
sources (although it may still be in the /incoming directory on some):
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/os2/wpsutil/fntf20.zip
- ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/wpsutil/fntf20.zip
- ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/atmfonts/fntf20.zip
- BMT Micro at ftp.wilmington.net/bmtmicro/fntf20.zip
- Compuserve : FNTF20.ZIP in library 1 in the OS2BVEN forum.
Product Features:
* Simple point and click operations make font installation and removal
fast and easy.
* Create FontPacks, named collections of fonts, that can be installed
and removed as a single unit.
* Use fonts directly from font CDROMs, saving hard disk space.
* Font Browser permits rapid browsing of fonts without installing
them. Fonts can be installed and printed while browsing so you can
search for the fonts you want and then install them immediately or
print samples for later examination.
* Organize your fonts in up to 100 customized font libraries by
whatever criteria makes sense to you.
* Store font files in whatever hard disk directories are convenient.
FontFolder does not try to move hard disk font files when installing
fonts.
* Pre-registered libraries for popular font CDROMs save you the time
and trouble of building your own libraries for these CDROMs. (Packaged
separately as fntflib.zip on the same locations of fntf20.zip.)
REGISTRATION FEES:
FontFolder 2.0 (with printing) $30
FontFolder 2.0 Lite (without printing) $20
