• Not even going to try it

  Ken_SaundersOctober 4, 2009

  Pros

  None at all. I'd prefer to give a negative rating than a single star.

  Cons

  No existing web site to get more info, support, updates, etc http://software.fonthit.com/ doesn't exist I'm not going to blindly download, install, and run software on my computer just because it is on download.com with a handful of good reviews.

  Summary

  FontHit Font Tools should be removed from this site

• Works great, BUT it conflicted with Windows XP.

  melvin53November 28, 2007

  Pros

  The program installed easily. I was able to quickly see all my different fonts.

  Cons

  Unfortunately, the program conflicted with my Windows XP MCE. After installation, Windows would not shut down my computer. When I uninstalled the program, I was able to shut down successfully.

• This program ROCKS!

  Jim HarmonJune 24, 2007

  Pros

  Easily view fonts BEFORE you install them. In its most basic mode, it displays a few upper case, lower case and punctuation characters to give you an idea of the font's completeness. If there are a few unusual characters that you need, you can activate the Character Map and it will show you the entire font.

  Cons

  Unless you tell it to, it doesn't display the filename. This is easy to do and the methd is obvious - but I would have preferred that the default action would have been to display it.<p>But here are the two biggest complaints I have with it:<p>1) When you run it for the first time, it will set itself up to automatically load at Startup. I use Winpatrol and was alerted to this fact, so I declined this option. I would hope that the available setting from the dropdown menu would also disable it if necessary.<p>2) This program will minimize to System Tray when you click on the Close button. In order to actually close it and remove it from memory you'll have to use CRTL-X to close it.<p>These annoyances aside, I will definitely continue using the program.

• Good font tool, but 1 major bug.

  simdanMay 20, 2007

  Pros

  Great being able to view fonts in zip folders, clean interface, easy to use.

  Cons

  Only problem I had was that my pc would not shut down while this was running - so I will be looking for a fix or an alternative

• Despite a few minor flaws, this program is generally excellent.

  eulaliApril 10, 2007

  Pros

  It shows me what my fonts look like. I can easily organize them in folders for back-up purposes. Though it may not show (in photoshop or ms paint) on which category I placed the fonts. At least it's easier for me to memorize the names. <p> <p>over-all it does it's job of installing/uninstalling, organizing the fonts.

  Cons

  In my case, sometimes it crashes when I switch from one folder to another (folders where the fonts are located). <p> <p>Also it seems to take a lot of RAM..sometimes more than my P2P client (which is expected to take more because of it's nature).

• very nice

  blabluppNovember 25, 2006

  Pros

  great UI: clean & professional looking, support for open type fonts is a big advantage over other apps. character map is useful too.

  Cons

  non-latin characters don't seem to be appearing correctly, would be nice to filter fonts by type (eg. serif, sans-serif, monospace, etc). Also to allow creation of font groups.
