The Font Chooser 1.0
The Font Chooser - Tool to select a set of typefaces for use in graphics more>>
This gives you a very quick way to compare and contrast type-faces within relative context of each other.

Font Book Helper 1.0
Font Book Helper - Change the icon thats used to represent the printer or outline font parts more>>
This has the effect of breaking up the grayish visual monotony that Font Book introduced, and makes fonts and font types easy to identify even at a quick glance.
It may also clear up some confusion users have had with trying to get Font Book to "recognize" their fonts. If you recall, PostScript Type One fonts have "parts" that fall into 2 categories: the first part is the font suitcase which is said to contain the "screen" or "bitmap" half of the font, while the second part is the corresponding PostScript Type 1 font (aka the "printer" or "outline" half of the font).
Font Book cannot directly use or open the PostScript Type 1 outline part of a font. This is why theyll appear dimmed in the Open file dialog or why double-clicking on them in the Finder opens Font Book but produces no result. Instead, you should select or double-click the font suitcase part of the font (with a normal gray icon), and Font Book will automatically take care of copying the referenced outline fonts automatically.
Enhancements:
- Please note that Font Book Helper is only compatible with OS X 10.3.x; it does not yet work properly under 10.4.x.

<<lessFont Sampler 0.5
Font Sampler - Simple font viewer more>>
Font Sampler does not show bold or italic fonts because that happens inside a typeface.
Snap To Defaults
Sometimes it is easier to start from the default black on white, size 12 setting rather than the blue and yellow size 48 setting you used when you last used Font Sampler. Since it is often easier to start from Font Samplers default settings, Font Sampler has a button that allows you to bring it to default settings.
Print Your Fonts
With the click of a button you can print off all of your fonts using the default settings. You can print them off for future reference or using the save as PDF button, you can print out what Font Sampler is displaying, send it to a client, and get some feedback.
Scroll
With Font Samplers scroll feature you can go through all your fonts, from top to bottom, without doing anything with your mouse. This allows you to concentrate on picking that right font and it can be useful when presenting to a client.
Combo Box
When you type in a phrase for Font Sampler to display, that phrase is cached in a ten item menu. If you want to access something that you used 10 minutes ago then you would simply select that item from the drop down menu.
Quick and Easy
Finding a font shouldnt be hard. It should be easy and quick. Font Sampler allows you to do just that. It gets right to the point so you can find the font you are looking for fast.
Enhancements:
- Crashing problems related to scroll fixed.
- Scroll now starts at the top visible row rather than at the top of the font list.

Font Menu 1.0
Font Menu - Adds two commands, do count available fonts and do list available fonts more>>
To get a list of fonts, this osax internally creates a font menu that is invisible.
In classic type osax (that is code resource type):
the font menu is always created and disposed at every command execution (so there is no option for updating the menu).
In newer type osax:
the font menu is not disposed until the osax is uninstalled. By default, however, the font menu is updated (rebuilt) at each command execution. If there is no need to update the font menu (that is, if you assume no fonts are added nor removed while using the computer), you can specify false for updating parameter to make the 2nd and later executions a little bit faster.
