Finding the right font for the job.
Using Font Picker
This simple tool shows you all the fonts installed on your computer and helps you choose which one is most suitable for a particular project.
- Select the text in one of the boxes and type the text you will be using for your project. For example the name of your web site.
- Get rid of the fonts that don't like by pressing the x next to them so you are left with a smaller list of fonts to choose from.
- Press the tick next to a font to mark a font as a favourite (press tick again to deselect).
- Press 'Clear' to remove all unselected fonts.
- Press 'Reset' if you want to start again.
