FontFrenzy

It's a fact that Windows fonts slow down your computer. Every font that gets installed on your PC slows down the boot-up time and slows down your normal operational speed.

Many programs that you install automatically add their own set of fonts, and very soon you can end up with a frenzy of unnecessary fonts clogging up your computer. Unless you use all of these fonts regularly, they are simply wasting your system resources.

Font Frenzy is a free font manager with some unique features not found in any free font program. Not only will it help you to view, install, and uninstall your fonts - it can help you "defrenzy" your whole font folder and put an end to font frustration and slow boot-up times.

Font Frenzy is freeware. It can be downloaded completely free of charge, and all that is required to remove the "nag" screen is a simple and free registration process.

Font Frenzy allows you to strip away all your excess fonts and restores your system to only the fonts that are essential to Windows, giving you the maximum performance speed possible

Opcion Font Viewer

Opcion Font Viewer is a free font viewer written in Java that allows you to view both installed and uninstalled TrueType fonts on Windows, Linux, Unix or Mac. The main focus of Opcion is to allow you to view your uninstalled fonts so that you install only the fonts you want and keep your system memory free of fonts you don't want.

As you may have experienced, installing the brand new 1000 fonts font pack you just bought on your Windows, Linux, Unix or Mac computer can lead to slow-downs when starting the computer and when loading other programs. The slow down occurs because the Operating System and certain programs (e.g. word-processors, email clients, graphics editors) need to load all system fonts so that they can be made available to you at any time. This is where Opcion comes in.

Opcion was written to handle the viewing of large font collections, therefore only fonts that you are currently viewing are stored in memory. Although the amount of physical memory you have will effect how many fonts you can view at a time, it will no longer be a limitation to you making use of your entire font library.

Another problem with most Operating Systems' default font viewers is that while they are capable of viewing fonts, the default Windows/Linux/Unix font viewers only allows you to view fonts that are already installed and one at a time. Opcion allows you to view TrueType fonts located anywhere and allows you to view system fonts as well.

To help you pick the best font for the job, whether it be for your assignment, project logo or webpage, Opcion provides a list view of either system or other/uninstalled fonts so you may see how a font looks compared to other fonts in your collection. When you see a font that you feel suits your current job you can simply click on it in the list view and it will be added to a favourites list that can then be saved for future reference or used to install only the fonts you want

Opcion Font Viewer requires Java 1.4.0+ to run. If your system does not have Java installed, please visit www.java.com and download the latest Java runtime to ensure that Opcion Font Viewer runs without any problems. If you are unsure whether you have Java installed and are using Windows, the windows executable version of Opcion will check for the availablity of Java by it self and direct you to Java.com should it not find a suitable Java runtime.
