Type a headline or a paragraph and see it in every font on your Mac
See your text in every font on your Mac, side by side.
Type a headline, a name, a slogan, a wedding line and FontPreview sets it in every installed font at once, in up to four columns. No scrolling through a font menu that shows twenty names in the menu's own typeface. Just your words, in all your fonts, at the size you choose.
ONE ROW PER FAMILY
A typeface like Avenir Next comes as twelve fonts; you don't need twelve rows to choose it. FontPreview shows each font family once, set in its regular style, with the other weights and styles a click away underneath. Prefer the long list? One switch shows every font on its own row.
HEADLINE OR PARAGRAPH
Keep the sample on one line, or wrap it and see a whole paragraph set in each font, so you can judge a body text font by its texture and not just its letters. Not sure what to type? The sample menu offers pangrams, the classic "Hamburgefonstiv", alphabets, numerals, look-alike characters, accents and punctuation, and remembers the texts you have used.
WHICH FONTS CAN ACTUALLY SHOW YOUR TEXT
Every column has two tabs. Rendered lists the fonts that can draw every character of your text. Missing lists the rest, with a count, and hovering a font shows exactly which characters it lacks. Type an accented letter, a currency sign or an emoji and watch fonts move between the tabs. Fonts that can't show any of your text display a sample of the characters they do contain, so symbol and non-Latin fonts finally look like themselves.
COMPARE SIDE BY SIDE
One to four columns, each with its own name filter, kind filter and favorites switch. Narrow a column to serif, sans serif, monospaced, script or symbol fonts. Show every font with "Neue" in its name next to your shortlist, or the whole list next to a search, and compare across them.
KEEP A SHORTLIST
Hover any row and click the star. Favorites stay across launches, and every change can be undone.
FROM SHORTLIST TO YOUR DOCUMENT
Right-click a font to copy the sample as styled text: paste it into Pages, Keynote, Mail or anything that takes rich text, already in that font. Copy it as a high-resolution image with a transparent background for a mockup. Copy the font's name or PostScript name. Show the file in the Finder, or open it in Font Book.
MADE FOR TODAY'S MAC
Rebuilt for macOS 12 and later. Light and dark mode. Automatic colors that follow the system appearance, or pick your own text and background. Fast: 900 fonts scan in about a second, and changing the text updates every column in place.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Nothing leaves your Mac. No account, no analytics, no network access.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
FontPreview does not install, organize or remove fonts (that's Font Book's job and FontPreview hands off to it). It shows the fonts already installed on your Mac; it does not preview font files you haven't installed.
Requires macOS 12 Monterey or later.

probably the best choice for low price range

it does the job prevewing all fonts with customized text. some UI bugs could be fixed such as Starring doesn’t instantly appear/disappear until you move selection away. could allow more features such as tagging and grouping, etc.but for $0.99, this is totally worth the money
A great font previewer

This program does what it's supposed to do: it shows me text in a *lot* of fonts (all, by default).You can enter you custom text (click on 'Text' at the top and type it in) and see it in all the fonts.The multi-columns are fine, once you realize how to use them. Let's say you have 4 columns showing. Scroll column 1 tohave the first font you are thinking of using, then scroll column 2 to the second font, etc., letting you compare 4 fonts onscreen at the same time.But ... it's not obvious, and a heck of a lot more limiting than the more obvious/useful option that should probably be added:the ability to drag an example out of the "FontPreview" window and have it be a static window by itself. Then, the multi-column stuff couldbe ditched, and I could have an arbitrary number of potential font choices showing.One good aspect of the columns is that each column has it's own search/filter facility.The program needs much more powerful filtering capabilities... I want to say: [ ] Italic to include or exclude italics [ ] Bold and perhaps not as easy: [ ] only san serif [ ] only serifAnd: [ ] exclude fonts with missing charactersAnd: Font source (choose one): Any / Apple fonts only / User installed fonts only I'd also prefer the ability to say something like "exclude more angular fonts" or "exclude more rounded fonts", which might requirethe program to analyze "a-z" to deduce the degree of angularity for each font :)Stan (40+ years of asking for enhancements) Sieler :)
