Windows fonts viewer



Nir Sofer has a nice freeware utility that can be used to list
available Windows fonts (with sample text) right from the XyWrite
CMline. It's called WinFontsView and can be downloaded here:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/windows_fonts_viewer.html

Unzip the two files (plus readme) into a directory in the Path.
WinFontsView has useful menu and/or command-line configuration
options (for example, you can customize the sample text that is
displayed). To call it up from the CMline, do:

Xy3:
DOS /C CMD.EXE /C WINFONTSVIEW

Xy4:
DOS/NV /C CMD.EXE /C WINFONTSVIEW

Obviously there are other ways to do this, but I find this one
particularly handy. It's a 32-bit Win program that works in 64-bit
Windows as well.
