The Font Finder is a utility that will allow you to organize your font disks and you system file better. A Macintosh can have up to 255 separate font families (Depending on disk space). Each of these fonts is given a unique name. On a disk with a large number of fonts, it becomes difficult to remember exactly what font looks like what, and what sizes are available for the particular font.
The Font Finder will do the Following:
• Print out the Fonts
• Display the Font Sizes
• Display the Font ID
• Show System Reserved Fonts
• Display Number of Fonts
• Total Disk space used
• Font's Resource ID's

Double-Clicking anywhere in the Main window will bring up another window with more detailed information on the particular font selected.
When printing be prepared to wait. Because it takes time to load and print out each actual font printing time is longer than most programs.
CAUTION
If you have a Laserwriter you may run out of printer memory. This is because the Laserwriter can only handle a specific number of downloadable fonts before it runs out of memory. We are currently trying to solve this problem.
