The best font manager I've ever seen!
MainType is a powerful but easy to use font manager and font viewer for Windows, that takes the frustration out of managing your fonts. It is packed with tons of intuitive features that makes it simple to find, manage, preview, organize, install, and print your fonts. MainType is the only font manager for Windows that fully supports variable fonts and OpenType layout features.
MainType is designed for graphic artists, typographers, and other power users who demand high-end functionality such as network support, advanced categorizing, and complex searching capabilities.
