well alpha , I tried your suggestion and it worked, but You get a whole page of just that one font in various sizes, then you have to do the entire process for each font, and even I don't have that much time or paper, I was thinking something in the way of just one line for each font, not one full page for each font, I must have 600 fonts or so, so back to the drawing board I guess for us, and kieraw, I couldn't find Charmap.EXE on my system anywhere, I even did a search for it using "FIND", and it turned up nothing ,I am using Windows ME everyone , I don't no if I mentioned that. Oh and Quinn, I tried your suggestion and It doesn't work in Photoshop 6 I highlighted the type and scrolled with the mouse, nothing. But if I clicked on the type name it did change the type to that particular font but Thats kinda what I am doin now and it takes too long to click on each font, and I kinda forget what each one was after a while, I'd just like to compare them to each other before I choose. Well guys if anyone has anymore suggestions I am open for help. (something Free would be better naturally, maybe freeware or something) I have faith that someone will have the answer thanks loads!!!!
