Fontboy
Just a fontviewer, not more!
Fontboy is a small application to show your installed fonts in BeOS. screenshot You can get additional information of the selected font and a preview of the complete charset. Fontboy let's you adjust the appearence to your desired needs and is fast because BeOS is. Take a look at the provided screeenshot to see how it looks. Fontboy is Freeware and the latest x86 version can be downloaded here. This is a Beta release. Disabled features will be implemented in future versions. Fontboy requires BeOS R4 to work.

My application is called Fontboy because it's not a real man yet! When I started this project some weeks ago I was planning a complete font manager. But due to a lack in the BeOS API this is currently not possible. I'll try to complete my work when the BeOS API will be expanded to my needs. Maybe R4.1 will give me what I need.

Thanks and regards must go to Marco Nelissen for his BubbleHelper class and to Eric Shepherd for his TPreferences class.
