Font Pilot is your tour guide through all the fonts installed on your Mac.
Whether you're a graphic designer or simply addicted to fonts, Font Pilot will save you much of the frustration and confusion involved with managing your collection.
Easily browse all of your installed fonts by visual preview, or check out an entire character map. Print the list as you see it on screen, or save it to PDF to send to a friend or co-worker.
Compile a database of your entire font collection for quick reference. Organizing your Mac font catalog has never been so easy!
Life can never be as cruel and unfair as when you're graphic designing and you can't quite find that right font! In the old days, before Font Pilot, you'd be stuck manually installing one font at a time and relaunching your programs until you found the one you liked. Not anymore!
Using its superior font management engine, Font Pilot plunges into your system and digs up the dirt on your fonts. Copyrights, licenses, descriptions, postscript names, file sizes, locations, and so much more! However, Font Pilot would have hardly graduated flight school if it didn't go above and beyond its other classmates.
Font Pilot allows you to browse, like a slideshow, an entire folder of fonts that are NOT installed! While viewing the slideshow, click the Install button at any time to have that font permanently activated on your computer. No fuss, no gimmicks, just pure functionality. Also activate (without installing) or deactivate fonts on the fly!
Amongst these great features, and numerous others like the character map, key combo list, and print engine, you can hardly afford not to include Font Pilot in your software repertoire. Even if you'd like to give it the free fifteen day trial, you'll find it hard to let go of this powerful font management utility for the Mac!
