Hi everyone, I've just put up version 1 of my new skinnable font app at www.ciansoftware.com for immediate download - would appreciate it if people would check it out and let me know what you think!

Cheers

Ian

First impression.....
Not resizable (aggravating)
Can't view fonts in non-default folder. (makes it useless to me)
$35 US Dollars
I don't mind paying for software, but only if it's useful. Being skinnable is nice, but WindowBlinds skins my present font viewers/managers quite nicely...

Sorry, but I'm not impressed with version 1.

Try Fontbook by AndreasV. It not only let's you view the fonts, but lets you enable/disables them also.

Your evaluation turned me off to even checking his out. Sorry.

Same here. As soon as I saw the $35, my mouse instinctively moved away from the link. Not that I mind paying $35 for software, but not for a font viewer. And the rest of the negative review only reinforced that.

Yeah.... I guess it would have been the same here if one of you guys pointed those things out.

I already have 2 great font viewer/managers (one was free, the other $5), and the only way I would consider paying for another is if it had the ability to convert postscript fonts to something I could use with Paint Shop Pro. Don't know if that's even possible, but I'd sure like such a program.

Well, thanks for the responses, guys. I am adding as many features as I can at them moment such as the ability to view fonts that haven't been installed yet and a character map viewer that lets you see the entire unicode char set...

Anyway, thanks

Ian
