The standard font manager included in Windows is not certainly very comfortable to use. In fact we could say there's no such manager, as the only thing you can do is to enter the Fonts folder and open each file one by one to see what they look like.

So if you're looking for a true font manager, you should give Fontexpro a try. This is truly a font manager that allows you to go over the fonts currently installed on your system and also check how they look either with a complete character set or a using a customized text string.

Now, when you launch the program you may see a black window and no fonts on it. This is because the program needs to 'read' the contents of the fonts folder before displaying them on the interface, Simply click on File > Browse Windows Fonts Folder and you'll see all your fonts listed on the program, besides a preview on the right pane.

Fontexpro doesn't include any other features or utilities besides displaying fonts. What's more, the program was a bit unstable during our tests: it took ages to display the selected font and sometimes didn't show all characters.

Although Fontexpro is a better tool to review fonts than the one featured in Windows, it still needs improvement in stability and design.

If you consider yourself a font junkie, it's about time you create your own personal style in fonts.

With Fony you can design a complete text font from scratch, including all the necessary characters and selection also the appropriate font family and correspondent charset. The process can be a bit tiring as you need to create each character one by one, but it's also very rewarding: in the end, you'll be able to use your very own digital handwriting. Other than that, the program looks quite basic both in appearance and functionality, with a scarce settings menu and a simple font previewing tool.

Besides creating a font from scratch, you can also import any font that is currently installed on your system – including True Type ones. On the downside, it's a pity you can't export your newly created font to that same format, True Tyoe; you can only save them as bitmap or BDF fonts.

Fony is a simple, easy-to-use font creation tool that unfortunately doesn't enable you to save fonts as True Type.
