TypeIndexer 2.1

TypeIndexer 2.1 offers you an effective tool that can find, sort, catalog and sample all of your PostScript fonts. Its unique and outstanding feature is the ability to find and process any number of font files at one time - without having to install them.

Of course, it works with installed ones, too!
You can create font catalogs with samples of all Postscript typefaces in your library. TypeIndexer prints an alphabetical list of all font [printer file] names, with line samples of each, at up to 60 typefaces per page.

For more detailed inspection, it can sample 1, 2, 4, 6, 15, 20 or 40 fonts on a page in a variety of template formats. New free templates are added to this website, and TypeIndexer provides tools to write your own! A file location index finds and shows the exact location of each printer font file. A Character Chart displays all available characters for any font.

Major Features:

1. Power Search and Sort Routines
   
   • Automatically search hard disks, opticals, CD's, floppies and folders.
   • Select an entire drive, and TypeIndexer will find all of the Postscript fonts on it. Or select a particular folder, and TypeIndexer will search that folder and any sub-folders within.
   • You may also select single font files for random sampling using any of the "Page Templates"
     
2. Print Sample Pages
   
   • Prints 1, 2, 4, 6, 15, 20, 40 or 60 fonts per page. Version 2.0 of TypeIndexer includes support for A4 paper sizes and new custom templates! A PostScript hacker's toolbox is included for those who whish to create their own templates and use all of the power of TypeIndexer.
3. Custom Headers and Footers

4. Create Master Font Indexes

5. Create PDF Files
   
   • TypeIndexer can print-to-disk. These files can be distilled into indexed, PDF files that are viewable on screen, printed through a Postscript laser printer or even InkJet printers. A great way to legally mail font samples!
   • Version 2.1 shines when run in OS 9.2.2 or "Classic Mode" through OS X. Huge amounts of fonts can be sampled with everything running at system speed.

You can even print the PDF through Ink-Jet printers with amazing results.
