FontGridMac grants users access to all the characters in their fonts.
In addition, FontGridMac comes with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) font list, supports various text encodings, lets you copy glyphs as pictures, and prints font preview pages. These features and more make FontGridMac a great tool for anyone who works with fonts regularly.
One of the key features of FontGridMac is that you can see all the glyphs in your fonts, even those that are not mapped to characters. You can also copy glyph outlines as PDF Bézier paths and paste them in a drawing application.
FontGridMac also shows the full name of the selected character, which is helpful when trying to distinguish between characters that look the same. Moreover, you can print a preview page for the selected font and style to see what a font looks like when used for writing text.
The software allows you to display various character sets such as ISO Latin 1, Mac OS Roman, ASCII, Unicode, and more. You can also choose to see only a specific range of the Unicode character set, which is a useful feature for webmasters and people who work on multiple platforms.
Additionally, FontGridMac has a Go To Font command that shows a WYSIWYG font list so you can easily pick the desired font. The Go To Character command allows you to quickly jump to any Unicode character in a font, and you can change the size of the text in the text entry field with the Size menu.
You can use the Mac OS X Font Panel to select a font with the software, and you can browse multiple fonts simultaneously by opening multiple FontGridMac windows. Finally, FontGridMac has the Copy Character and Copy Text buttons that allow you to quickly copy the selected character or the contents of the text entry field to the clipboard.
The software has a two-week trial limitation, and minor performance enhancements have been made in the latest release. If you’re looking for a simple and effective font management tool, FontGridMac is definitely worth considering.
