What is Font Runner?
If you have a large collection of fonts, keeping them all in your Windows Fonts folder can be burdensome and slow. With Font Runner, you can manage your font files by keeping them in folders of your choosing.
Browse through your font collection quickly to help you find “just the right font” for any project. Organize your fonts with drag-and-drop ease; cataloging them into different folders and projects. Search your fonts by name, similarity or by character. Also, preview your fonts inside Font Runner or by making them available to other applications. Finally, Font Runner gives you the ability to make printouts of your fonts so you can thumb through them easily.
You can do all this — without putting your fonts in the Windows Fonts folder.
Comments and Reviews
The interface is not that cute and the font removal didn't work on all (system) fonts for me. I also dislike the two windows which are constantly overlapping.
I got back to The Font Thing, which, ugly as it is, is still working perflectly.
I continue my search for the best fonts, free Manager. After "NexusFont" I me tried to "Font Runner". The interface is much more basic than 'Nexus', but it is less than small tools. However the exploration of files is much easier, this looks like windows Explorer with the "folder tree"... which is good compared to «Nexus» it is possible to change the size of the text, however it is a little slower I waited about 40 seconds so that the fonts are loaded while with "NexusFont" it lasted not even 5 seconds.
I think that the interface is more for "Advanced" users, or the fonts designers... but if you want a good manager for this, NexusFont should be at the height ;)
