dp4 Font Viewer is a free Windows utility for inspecting and organizing OpenType (OTF) and TrueType (TTF) fonts. It can show several fonts together for comparison, with filters for type, class, width, weight, 300 PANOSE styles, and 80 Unicode ranges. Previews can display ASCII characters, glyphs, custom text, and font metadata. The program can temporarily install fonts, delete them, and print an individual font or a list. Other listed features include command-line parameters, Unicode and key display, and an interface that scales to 4K displays. The maker describes it as a small program that does not require installation. Its interface is available in German and English. The download page lists version 3.4 for 64-bit Windows 7, 8, and 10, with executable, ZIP, and installer options, as well as an older 32-bit version. The 64-bit executable has a published MD5 hash.
