Fonty aims to make it easier to select fonts for use in art projects, presentations, documents, etc.

  • View fonts that are installed on the system or font files in some other folder. Filter the view, search for a font by name. Fonty displays a quick index of links so you can navigate quickly through 'pages' of fonts.
  • Create collections of fonts and save the collection as a list or copy the font files into the collection.
  • Perform the normal install or uninstall. Or you can temporarily activate fonts for the current session only (until you log out or restart your computer). This means you can use fonts temporarily without having to install them (installing lots of fonts can cause your computer to be slow).
