- Fontastic is a powerful font management utility from Microtech software.
- It allows you to view all of your systems fonts from one application.
-
- To view any font, simply use the Word style drop down font list to select your font.
- You can then adjust the text displayed to show all the attributes of that font.
- Bold, italic, underline and strikethrough properties can all be selected.
- Fontastic can also show how fonts will look through differing alignments.
-
- To see how you font will look in colour, choose from a standard colour selection or define your own custom colour.
- You can also run multiple instances of Fontastic to allow direct comparison between fonts.
-
- Fontastic can print a sample sheet showing how the font looks at various point sizes.
- The sample sheet also has the name of the font and the date it was printed.
- Particularly useful for cataloguing all your fonts.

- New Features
-
- Fontastic still remains the easiest font management tool you can buy.
-
- But now, we have added a number of extra features to allow you to get the most from the fonts you use.
-
- New for version 3.6 is the character map. A feature which is unique to Fontastic.
- The character map shows you all the characters for any given font.
- You can also copy formatted text directly from Fontastic.
-
- Every time you click on a character, it appears in the in two text boxes at the bottom of the screen.
-
- This allows you to create words or even sentences in the font that you require.
-
- To copy just one character, select "Copy single character".
- To copy the contents of the larger text box, select "Copy multiple characters".
-
- Now hit the copy button.
- The text you have chosen is stored in the Windows clipboard.
- This can now be pasted into almost all word processors and DTP packages.
