FontSight™

HomePage: http://www.stone.com/FontSight/

FontSight™ is a shareware, self-installing program that adds a new "FontSight™" menu to native OS X apps that contains each typeface on your computer in it's very own typeface. Selecting a typeface changes selected text (and in the case of Create, selected objects) to that new face, preserving size and weights as possible.

To Install: Launch FontSight_Installer, click "Install".

Then, when you next launch "Cocoa" applications such as TextEdit, Mail, Create or PhotoToWeb, you'll have access to all your fonts while being able to preview as you choose.

Bonus: FontSight can preview and print your fonts at any size, which is nice so you can keep a printed guide to your fonts. Choose "About FontSight™" and click on "Preview Fonts" button - or use "Preview Fonts" from the FontSight_Installer itself.

Hint: Save the Installer in case you want to Un-install the utility.

Hint: Check out the Preferences! You might want to play with the font size, location or appearance...

EXPERTS: By default, FontSight will not install itself in applications without the "Format" or "Font" menu in the Main menu. This is usually what you want, but you can override this to have it install in EVERY Cocoa app regardless of whether it actually has a Font/Format menu! To do this, type this into Terminal:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain StoneFontSightInAppsWithoutFormatOrFontMenu YES

If you have troubles, you can turn on a hidden default to show the font names in Console which might point out the troublesome font:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain StoneFontSightLog YES

Shareware: $19
