[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 343537"] Hi people! I hope someone knows about this, so here goes... In the pre-OS X days, there was a program, [I]the TypeBook[/I], that would print out pages for each font you had, list examples of what the typeface looked like, give you info on how many characters would fit in a 1 pica space for a given size, etc. (See attached file below for an example of what a page looked like) The school I go to uses the [I]TypeBook[/I] to list all the available fonts and help us calculate our text for layouts and stuff. I've googled to see if anything like this exists for Mac OS X but cannot find anything. I use LinoType's FontExplorer X and it doesn't seem like it can do this. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate hearing them. Thank you for your input. [ATTACH=full]5080[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
