Hi.
I'd like to be able to print all of my fonts from my computer so that I have a hard copy to assist me with my design projects. I want my clients to be able to choose how they want the wording to appear on something they ask me to make for them. I know that not everyone can come in and say "I want you to do this in 'Algerian' font." So I'd like to create a book and say "here, leaf through this and tell me what you want."
Sounds simple, but Vista cannot tell me through the help section how to do it.
Thanks.

Hi, BIGBOPPER!

I just did a search in my computer for fonts.

There is a folder that is named Fonts in my computer. When I opened the folder, there are a bunch of font files. When opening an individual font file, there is the option to print what is in the font file.

Perhaps you might have something similar on your computer?

Thanks!

Thanks, BIGBOPPER!

I had no idea that it would work for you, but was just making an educated guess because it worked for me.

I'm glad that it worked for you! :)

I wish and hope for you the best, in printing out all of them!

Thanks!

FYI - Most laser printers have a menu option that allows you to printout of all fonts resident (including downloaded fonts).
