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.

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.

AMP Font Viewer displays all installed fonts as well offering the user the option to view the font in action so to speak with the usual “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” sentence or custom ones entered by the user. Font size, color, bold, italic and underline can be selected and even the Ansi characters of the font can be displayed.

Fonts can be uninstalled which can speed up system start if you have lots of fonts installed. A backup of the fonts that are uninstalled will be created in case the font is needed by Windows or another application. It can easily be installed again if that should be the case.

Fonts that are currently not installed can be previewed as well before they are installed. Multiple fonts can be installed and uninstalled at once. One of the nicest features is to install fonts temporarily which means that the fonts will be available in Windows for as long as the AMP Font Viewer software is running. This feature is supported by the ability to group fonts into categories. If you work with Photoshop every now and then and need fonts for that you might group all those extra fonts that you do not need in other applications in the Photoshop category and install them temporarily when you work with Adobe Photoshop.

It therefore would be good to pick those fonts that you want (need) and those which you do not which would have the effect that you would still have all the fonts you work with normally and experience a faster system at the same time. Also, if you’re into fonts and use many variations of them for your work / hobby purposes, you may appreciate a great source of free fonts I’d like to mention underneath.

Font Frenzy is a great tool for font management available as a free download. This application consists of 4 parts allowing you to put your fonts in order. DeFrenzy backs up all additional fonts to a specified directory and erases them from the font folder so that it in fact restores the default state after Windows installation.

FrenzySnap cooperates with DeFrenzy by first allowing you to make a snapshot of currently used fonts and return to that state using DeFrenzy later on. ReFrenzy provides you a simple way to restore previously saved fonts from your back-ups. Last but not least, FrenzyMan allows you to manage each single font individually meaning that you can check one or more of them and then execute certain actions like Adding/Erasing, Loading/Unloading and so on. The last advantage of this lovely tool is that you can simply change the text working as a preview for installed fonts along with its size.

Besides managing or deleting fonts from your system, you might also want to choose some beautiful ones and add them into your system using the previously described utility. Fawnt.com offers hundreds of high quality fonts for free. It lets you preview the fonts, rate them, use custom preview text, check the package content details and download it free of charge. You can find some pretty bizarre pieces here.

You need to take a look at the link “10000 more fonts” at the bottom of the page after you are finished looking at the picks on the main page. This link is well worth it.

A quick recap: Fonts slow down system startup. The difference between 1000 and 100 installed fonts is almost 25 seconds which is huge. Windows XP installs 44 fonts and all other fonts are added by other applications such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop and Gimp.

Besides offering the ability to remove all non system fonts in Windows XP which is called DeFrenzy in Font Frenzy it offers the functionality to make a snapshot of your current fonts and backup them.

The so called FrenzyMan is a font manager which displays all fonts in a list giving the user options to install, delete, add new, unload and view the selected fonts. What I really like about Font Frenzy is that it does not need to be installed and can be run from any location on your hard drive.
