Want to print professionally designed sample sheets listing all your fonts? Font Xplorer comes to the rescue! Designed for both beginners and professionals, this font tool should find a place in every computer.” Sounds good to me. And it´s freeware. But: Font Xplorer does not support Adobe Type 1 fonts. It works with TrueType and OpenType fonts only.

FontCubes

Visit www.fontcubes.com At fontcubes you will find 9300+ free fonts for you to download. And what sounds interesting to me is: “Registering as a member will allow you to access Font Cubes’s unique font management system that were made for designer’s uses. By registering, you could keep track on your favourite fonts by fontmarking them and asside of that, you could also use the system to keep track of font you have used in your project.” Seems like this feature isn´t online yet, but i am looking forward to try it.
