Cool Online Font Viewer

Jump to Comments

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately looking for and adding fonts. It’s very easy to do, and there are so many great free fonts out there it can get kind of addicting. Free fonts are incredibly abundant, but since they require us to download a file off of the internet I’m hesitant to use sites that I don’t trust. I find that most fonts that I want are available through roundup style blog posts or excellent aggregation sites like dafont.com. If you’d like to peruse through some of the font resources I’ve bookmarked on del.icio.us you can find them at my page.

Not only is it so easy to find fonts to add to my collection, but it really is a special feeling to find just the right font for that application which actually brings me to my problem. As most of you surely have found, inside of software like word and photoshop there’s really no good way to search through your fonts in any intelligent way. Enter Myfontbook.com. This is a free online application which allows you to view your installed fonts, preview them in editable contexts, and also tag them so that you can organize an otherwise chaotic space.
