    "Love this program"

    November 30, 2011  |   By pyrocrafter

    Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2

    Pros

    It worked a treat in XP, loads in my Windows 7 but at them moment, it freezes up when trying to install a font and greys out the add to collection command but I'm going to try the instructions from comment number 1 - fingers crossed. I find this invaluable for my design work.

    Cons

    Blips in Windows 7

    Summary

    I find this a really simple and effective font viewer and arranger, so I can quickly go to fonts of similar styles for certain designs.

    "It works with Windows 7!! Hooray!"

    September 3, 2011  |   By abigailmarie

    Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2

    Pros

    This is an outstanding program (and the only one I'm aware of) that lets you compare fonts. There's a character map so you can see all the characters in a font. You can also type in your own words to see what they'll look like in each font.

    Cons

    I really can't think of any.

    Summary

    I was able to get this to work in Windows 7. I downloaded the file (NOT the install file but the smaller EXE file) then unzipped it with 7-Zip into the Downloads file it was in (I tried to unzip it into a Font Thing file I created under Program Files but that didn't work). After I'd successfully unzipped it I moved the unzipped files to the Font Thing file I'd created under Program Files, double clicked the application file and it opened. I'm very happy to still have access to this helpful program on my new computer!

    "For Vista Users"

    April 15, 2011  |   By zimboliya

    Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2

    Pros

    Great app for any graphics user.

    Cons

    None. Except the original developer didn't stayed behind his great creation and didn't update it.

    Summary

    What I did to install it on my Vista x64 PC was I opened setup.exe file on my home networked XP machine and when promted for install directory, I selected networked Vista PC's Program folder and installed it through local network. Give it a try.

    "Not for Vista x64 bit or Windows 7"

    March 10, 2010  |   By DeniseAck

    Version: The Font Thing 0.80 beta 2

    Pros

    I was excited to use it--sounds great if you have an older system

    Cons

    Not that many people are still running versions OLDER than XP. How about making a version usable for XP and above, especially now that Windows 7 is out.

    Summary

    Needs updating!!!
