Is there a simple program for creating page titles with 3D effect and/or
shadows on fonts.
I have got Photoshop which does it very well I admit, but I would prefer
something a bit simpler.
Yes, it's called X Fonter. However, the latest version (5.0) has gone
shareware. Perhaps someone can point you to the last freeware version (4.
something) as I ditched my copy and his web site (Blacksun
http://www.blacksunsoftware.com/ ) no longer hosts the free version.
Font Manager, Font Viewer
=========================
X-Fonter covers all the bases when fonts are concerned. The main
functionality of this program is to manage your fonts (install,
uninstall, load, unload, compare, preview). X-Fonter supports all font
types (TrueType, OpenType, Postscript Type 1, Raster, Vector).
But what makes this product really stand out from the rest, is the
intuitive and user-friendly interface. It doesn't matter whether you're
a newbie or a pro, with X-Fonter you can get the job done.
Finding the right font is often a difficult task, but X-Fonter makes
this job easy for you. You can create your own color schemes and use
your own preview text. There's a character map included for both ASCII
and Unicode, so you can easily find out how a specific character looks,
or whether that specific character is included in a font.
Additionally, It also allows you to make nice 3D graphics (transparent
GIF supported) that you can use for your webpages, emails and much
more... The image editor includes some nice effects, like shadows,
gradient colors, outlines and blurring.
