It's too old to be installed on Windows 7 or later

Pros
None I'm aware off
Cons
Can't say anything about it too
Summary
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
Wrong category - this is not free, it's a 30 day evaluation

Pros
It sux
Cons
It's shareware pretending to be freeware
Summary
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.
Summary
Very useful

Cons
Summary
This program ROCKS!

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.
Summary
Easy to print

Pros
It's easy to print all or some of the fonts on your computer. This is the only thing I needed to do.
Cons
Summary
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
Summary
Despite a few minor flaws, this program is generally excellent.

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).
Summary
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.
