FONT THING   Although it is an old program, it is the best one that I have found that is free.   It does not include Windows XP as an operating system, but  I have XP and I have had no problem with this software.     It installs and uninstalls fonts.  You can view the font, along with many others all at one time.  The main reason this is so handy is that you do not need to install or minimize fonts to use them.   If fact if you have too many fonts in Windows, you will have some computer or software problems.  You should make a new folder, but DO NOT just name it Fonts (as this will confuse the Windows Operating System)   Just name it something that you can easily locate it.   To use this program, you will need to go to View, Go to Options, Click on browse and locate the folder you have your uninstalled fonts in.  If you have any font zipped up files, they will all need to be unzipped to that folder.   To use this without installing, all you have to do is have the text box in PSP closed, then highlight the font in the Font Thing program that you want to use....open the text box in PSP and it will be there.  No installing is necessary.   Sometimes you may need to do that a second time, but that is very rare.   Font Thing Program - Click on Downloads at the top right side - or use line below - I used Site 1 As with any download, virus check it manually after you have downloaded and before installing.   The Font Thing 0.80 - Zipped install set  (1126K) This includes a Setup program which steps you though the installation process, and sets up  - Start Menu links and uninstallation information.

I have Windows XP and this works great.  You should have a seperate folder named something other than fonts, like "my fonts"  and not have them installed.

Make a folder elsewhere and put your fonts in it.  Direct this program to the path you have that folder.  There is a setting you can do that.  All you have to do is open this program, highlight the font you want.  Open your text box in PSP and the font is ready to use.

 

If you have too many fonts in windows system file, you will have trouble.
