California Fonts Manager2.5

California Fonts Manager is a lightweight software application that helps you check out all fonts installed on your system.

Simple looks

You are welcomed by a multi-tabbed layout that allows you to view the fonts that are detected on your computer and make use of the built-in browser in order to look for more fonts on the Internet.As soon as you run the tool, it automatically scans the folder that contains the fonts and builds up a list with all fonts. Additionally, you may view information about each font (e.g. font family, status) and preview a preset text example.

Main features

California Fonts Manager gives you the possibility to enter a user-defined text message in order to test each font, specify the font location, insert an additional folder that contains fonts, and rescan the information displayed in the main window with just one click. Additionally, you may open the location where the fonts are stored.Other notable features worth being mentioned enable you to install or uninstall a font and activate or deactivate a font without having to uninstall it.

Performance

Tests have shown that the application builds up the list with installed fonts pretty quickly. During the scanning mode, California Fonts Manager needs extra system resources to finish the task, so the overall performance of your computer may be hampered.

What it lacks

On the downside, California Fonts Manager doesn’t let you perform search operations, organize fonts into user-defined groups, generate PDF files with all your fonts, indicate conflicting and duplicate fonts, and customize the text in terms of size and color.

Bottom line

All in all, California Fonts Manager proves to be a simple software application that comes bundled with basic features for helping you manage the fonts installed on your system.
