Anybody know of a free font previewer, that loads on your computer? I have 2,500 fonts and I can't use GimpShop effectively with that many. I want something that allows you to specify a folder where all the fonts are, and just shows what the font looks like.

I use Black Sun's X-fonter. It's great. Smiling

I'm going to move this to Concept, Layout, & Graphic Design - hopefully more designer types will see the thread there.

I used to have a program like this years ago but I forget what it was called. I'd be interested in suggestions as well.
