I'd like to print the fonts in my fonts folder all in one shot.
selecting all and printing isn't working because it's actually trying to
open all of them at the same time. it would seem that there would be a vbs
script that'd handle the process of opening, sending to the printer,
closing, and repeat. but I searched and didn't see one.
If anyone knows of something let me know. I've got various photo editors
and such so if there's a way to do it through one of them I'd like to know.
I'm planning to print them to a PDF file. ;-)
TIA
 
Do a search for a Window Font Display utility.

This will allow you to create a macro in Word that will generate a sample of
every font on your system. At this point my sample is 91 pages long - I'm
not printing mine out. Although a .pdf file might not be a bad
idea................

RE:
PDF-ing.
Just to let you know. I've got one of those PDF fakers that catch the doc.
at the printer and convert it. I've got 33 pages and it's 685K. so you'd
be roughly 3x the size of that, probably.
Thanks again,
cl
 
LOL
You've got mail ;-)

the one you sent is great. the problem I'm having is the PDF-er isn't
catching the actual fonts. it's doing a lot of substitution.
I tried a screen capture out of my photo editor (ulead's). it didn't work
because the screen is just too much. I'm going to see if I can get photo
shop to do a better capture. I'm really surprised the win2pdf program
didn't work. it's supposed to catch stuff at the printer que so I can't see
why it's substituting fonts for what gets sent! urrrgh.
 
I tried to pdf mine with the real thing - can't be done. I think it's just
too darned big. That's okay - I'm forever adding fonts and it only takes a
few moments to make a new doc.

I was going to use it for people to download (the PDF) so they could see
what fonts they like. oh, well it'll save me from having to explain howcome
they can't reliably use kellyann gothic on other people's machines. ;-)
