VisualFont uses very few memory, the application is quite small, and it can still manage thousands of fonts. The search engine is able to find all fonts contained in any folder and its subfolders, sort them, remove duplicates, and caches the search results to disk, so that you can stop the search process and resume it later. The rendering engine displays and prints text using multiple lines, and has been greatly improved to fit publishing and page layout professional needs. VisualFont uses drag and drop intensively, it interacts with the Finder, and uses the latest technologies provided with MacOS 8 and MacOS 9. New version 2.6 offers a list view and has improved overall structure for speed and strength. It has been crash-tested with folders of over 6000 fonts, ensuring its stability. VisualFont requires PowerMacintosh, System 7 and Appearance Manager. The shareware price is $20.
