Fonts. I don’t use them. Barely. I’m a programmer, so my fonts usually consist of courier, arial, and monaco. But every now and then I want a cool font. I’ve never like having to mouse through hundreds of fonts looking for that perfect font. Whichever word I’m trying to stylize usually renders as not being a word in the written language by the time I’m done looking at it five hundred different ways. Sometimes it never was to begin with, but I digress.

What I’ve always wanted was a way to take my fonts and print them out so I could keep a binder that was within arms reach. Pop it open and flip through till I found what I wanted. Don’t underestimate the speed of your eyes and brain scanning pages versus your finger clicking next, next next. For years, yes years, I’ve been looking for a simple program that just prints out all my fonts, one line per font, quick and easy. And in that time I never found anything.

Well tonight I finally did. And whether its been out for a while I don’t know, because I haven’t even bothered looking in over a year. But I have one now. Yay. Now you can print multiple fonts on one page from Apple Mac Os X with this free application that will print out your fonts on multiple pages for free. Sorry, that last sentence was meant for Google, not you.
