S-soft Font viewer1.0

Just like handwriting is unique for every individual, so can computer text documents be enhanced with different writing styles. These are known as fonts and Windows comes with a staggering amount of default ones. There are also custom ones you can grab online. With the help of S-soft Font viewer you can analyze all of them which are on your PC.

Simple interface quickly gets you up and running

It takes little time and effort to get the application installed on your computer. This step is necessary so it can read all installed fonts on your computer. All of them are shown in the main window on launch, with no loading time.The interface is minimalistic, letting individuals of all levels of experience quickly get the hang of things. A side panel shows all fonts so you can easily browse and select a font of interest. The rest of the space is fitted with a large preview area for text under different characteristics, as well as several controls for more view options.

Good, but far from being a pro

Sadly, the font browser shows names of fonts in plain text so you need to select one to see how it actually looks like. Moreover, the application doesn’t support all character encoding methods, so you’re not able to perfectly view all installed fonts on your PC because unrecognized characters are shown as placeholders.Selecting a font shows its name in regular style, bold, italic, and underline. Additionally, you can manually write down a few strings to analyze custom characters, with the possibility to bold, italic, and underline. The application is only capable of displaying fonts, without an option to copy custom strings under the specific format.

To end with

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that S-soft Font viewer leaves a bit more to be desired, mostly because of compatibility issues with specific character encoding methods. The list is shown in plain text, forcing you to browse through all of them for proper preview, and custom strings can’t be copied under the font of interest.
