Font Manager Cfont Pro

Cfont Pro (via Techyard) is a free font manager that comes with options to preview all installed fonts on a computer system and to install or uninstall selected fonts. The main program window lists all installed fonts of a system which can be selected with a left-click. The preview window will display the chars of the selected font in various sizes with the option to add bold, italic or underlined attributes to the displayed font.

It is easy to scroll through all installed fonts by selecting the first font in the list and using the mouse-wheel to move to the next one. Even better is the option to create a html file with previews for all installed system fonts. It is up to the user to customize the display by selecting the display text, size and attributes for each font.

A font can be uninstalled by right-clicking it in the fonts list and selecting Uninstall from the menu. Two options are available. The first will create a backup while the second will remove the font from the system without a backup. Users should make sure that they do not remove system fonts from the system to avoid problems that can arise from that.

It is also possible to move or copy fonts using the same context menu of the fonts browser. Fonts can also be previewed by using the file browser which is an explorer like interface that can be used to check the fonts of a selected directory. The font manager will automatically check if a font is installed on the system and inform the user if that is the case. Fonts can be installed by right-clicking them and selecting the Install option from the menu.

This is a great way of previewing many fonts in short time and installing those that pass the preview. The font manager is compatible to all NT operating systems, no word on 64-bit edition support though.
