Font Manager NexusFont

font managersNexusFont is a portable font manager for the Windows operating system that was recently reviewed by Rarst on his blog and also added to Appnews, our latest software updates project. Font managers can be important for several reasons. They can give a quick overview of all installed fonts on a computer system usually including a preview of how the fonts look like. NexusFont not only displays the installed fonts but can also display fonts that are currently not installed on a computer system. The font preview text can be modified to include custom text and formatting in case that is needed.

The font manager provides quick access to many useful features including the installation and uninstallation of fonts, copying and moving fonts or taking a look at a character map of that font. It makes use of an internal charmap but can also display the charmap of the operating system.

Fonts can be searched which becomes useful when working with font collections that consists of hundreds of different fonts. They can also be printed, saved as an image or renamed from the main interface.

Additional options include the search for duplicate fonts and the creation of backups before installing or uninstalling fonts. NexusFont is a great font manager for the Windows operating system. The only feature that it is lacking is to filter the Windows system fonts from the display to make it easier to distinguish between them and third party fonts.
