Free font printing software anywheres?

ecotrails · 30-01-10, 11:33 AM

Hi Am having a clearout of me fonts installed in windows.

Once tidier, does anyone know of free font software that will let you print out at a suitable size the 'A to Z' of installed fonts or is it even possible somewhere in Vista?

You just have a quiet rant to yourself there!! Yeah flippin Vista your life ain't your own . . . It refuses to let my laptop talk to the rest of the network, always having to womble round with a memory stick, bloody thing!

You can print out an A-Z by double clicking on the font, then selecting print I think.

Why won't it give you access Eco, are you logged in as Admin on it?

Cheers, Dewi

No idea Dewi & Teaspoon but a bit of googling brings up all sorts of issues with fonts and vista and admin or not, even admin status means my pc is not my own...

Decided to do it like this in Corel...

Depending on how many fonts you use on a regular basis, thats going to take some time to do! Blimey!

What gets me about Vista is it was full of bugs when they released it, it had major security flaws and rather than fix them, giving their customers a half decent operating system, they abandon it and move onto Windows 7 with all the problems starting all over again. Nice advertisements, shame about the operating system.

A more cynical man would believe that neither Microsoft or Apple are interested in producing things that work, just things that look good so they get the purchase. The truth is probably much simpler... neither company have the first clue about what makes a good operating system as they stole all their ideas from companies like Xerox and the SCC.

When you think about the Windows 7 advertisements though... the whole "Windows 7 was my idea"... do you reckon Microsoft are just trying to shift the blame for the moment when their customers realise that the system doesn't work? They can point to all those people in the adverts and say "It was their idea... look, they even admit it!"

Cheers, Dewi

In case you're wondering who is running the show now that Bill Gates has disappeared...

And this is the guy the world trusts for its operating systems?

And how were these amazing operating systems built? Who made them Steve... tell us...

See what I mean, the guy is shit nuts!

There is a way to remove system files like the foreign fonts:

I wouldn't recommend it though.
