AMP Font Viewer

What AMP Font Viewer is

AMP Font Viewer is a free Windows program for viewing and organizing installed fonts and fonts in folders. It supports TrueType, OpenType and Type 1 fonts. Users can install fonts from a folder individually or as a list, and can make them available temporarily until the program closes. Font lists have several display options, and fonts can be arranged into categories. A scratchpad lets users try fonts, while print support produces lists with a sample of each font. The program is available in English and Spanish. Its product page identifies version 3.86, which added copying installed font files to a folder from the font list window. AMPsoft offers an installer listed at 522 KB and a ZIP file listed at 483 KB. For Windows Vista and Windows 7, the product page provides instructions for running the program as administrator when security settings prevent permanent font installation. The maker’s homepage invites users to email comments, questions or suggestions.
