Andrew wonders if there is a way to create a document that contains a sample of all the fonts available on a system. This could be very handy for him, as he is looking to format his documents.
Actually, I addressed this task in a different WordTip: Printing a Font List. The tip provides two different macros that can generate such a list. What it doesn't provide, however, is some guidance on third-party software that may help in generating your desired sample sheet. Here are four ideas that you could explore:
PrintMyFonts: https://www.sttmedia.com/printmyfonts Printer's Apprentice: http://www.loseyourmind.com/pa80.aspx NexusFont: https://nexusfont.en.softonic.com/ Font Explorer: https://www.karenware.com/powertools/karens-font-explorer
These tools run the gamut. Some of them are free, some are free for a short period, and some of them require payment. Each of them will, at a minimum, provide a font list, but some will do much more than that. If you don't want to use one of the macros provided in the other tip, you should take a look at these third-party options and see if one of them will work for your needs.
