FontGenius supports most image file formats, and can even grab an image right from your desktop.

Font Book Helper 1.0
Font Book Helper - Change the icon thats used to represent the printer or outline font parts more>> Font Book Helper - Change the icon thats used to represent the printer or outline font parts
Font Book Helper changes the icon thats used to represent the printer or outline font parts of Adobe PostScript Type 1 fonts from Font Books default gray icon to a red one, visually reminiscent of the red PostScript "A" icon used in OS 9 and prior.
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.

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.
