Font Fountain

A desktop tool for choosing fonts.

This little program allows users to view system fonts and preview them with sample text.

The preview window.

Font selector dialog:

Font selector.

It is also possible to change the text area's background color and font's fore color in preview:

Changing back and fore colors.

Color chooser dialog:

Background color chooser.

Scrolling the mouse wheel up will increase the font size and scrolling down will decrease it:

Changing size with scrolling the mouse wheel.

One useful feature in this tool is that you can preview a ttf font which is not installed in the system by browsing it from your disk:

Opening a ttf font which is not installed on the system.

Other than the above, this program uses Swing for the GUI and I tried to make tiny and good-looking windows and dialogs. Window and caption related code is in the fenestra package.

Fonts used in the screenshots are Fipps and File respectively.

I hope you enjoy!
