"Font Previewer" is another one of my 'bloated' programs that I made with
Hollywood 5.0. I hope you enjoy it!

Installation:
Just copy the FontPreviewer drawer where ever you like.

Features:
Allows the previewing of all installed fonts (both Bitmap and Vector).
Additionally, fonts that are not installed can also be viewed either by clicking
on the View (magnifier) button, or by drag & drop.

Usage:
Click on the Preview All button to see a preview of all the installed,
non-bitmap fonts in a list (from which selections can also be made).
Click on the Bitmap button to preview any of your installed bitmap fonts.
Click on the View (magnifier) button to preview an external font (one that is
not installed on your system).
Click on the Font button to preview any of your installed non-bitmap fonts.
Click on the Font Size button to change the size of the preview text.
Click on the Anti-Alias button to toggle anti-aliasing on and off. (This button
has no effect with bitmap fonts.)
Click on the Text String button to change the text in the preview.

Hints:
A custom background can be used. Just copy it to the FontPreviewer drawer and
name the file "FontPreviewerBackground".
The initial custom text can be set through the icon's Tooltype.

non-bitmap fonts
