Font Samples in a PDF File
« on: January 22, 2021, 07:29:18 PM »
I happened to run across this today while surfing.  This may be something everyone has already seen, but was new to me as an easy scroll-able PDF for many of the basic Fonts.  Anyway, for what it's worth....

Yes, but that listed nearly 200 fonts (and some derivatives) when you're trying to find a font you want to use not to find a font identification (What the Font).  Generally you can usually spot a target font you're looking for with just a common letter or two.

I actually have output sample Corel files (with full alphabets) grouped by name identifications such as Smooth Letters, Pointy Letters, Scripts, Hollow, Athletic, Oddball, etc.

I use https://wordmark.it/ a lot to find a font that I already have on my system. Use Chrome with their extension, type in a word and hit enter.

That looks handy, do you have any issues? Some of the reviews weren't favorable. Is there a fee? I don't see one listed, but it's mentioned in the reviews.

No fee. There is a pro version but I don't see any benefit to me. It use to use flash to load some system fonts so now you have to use Chrome with the extension. I have never had an issue with the site.

I did check that out. 

The only drawback for me is that I have a ton of Fonts that are not all installed, so this only uses the ones that I have actually installed on my PC.

But I believe it does have a role to play.  Thanks for sharing.
