Open a plugin zip in Total Commander (Enter) and it installs the plugin itself. Each plugin comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Font Viewer is a Total Commander Lister plugin that previews font files. Press F3 or Ctrl+Q (Quick View) and you see the font name rendered in the font itself, file information, text samples and a character map. Besides regular Windows and web fonts it also handles retro bitmap fonts from the Atari 8-bit and the Amiga.
Features
- Font information: family, style, full and PostScript name, version, glyph count, units per em, weight class, variable axes, designer, manufacturer, copyright and license.
- Text samples in several sizes (pangram, Central European diacritics, alphabet, digits); for fonts without Latin glyphs the samples are taken from the glyphs the font actually has.
- A character map of all glyphs the font covers.
- Drawn without Windows font fallback, so missing glyphs show up as missing.
- Collections and variable-font instances are switched with
←→. - WOFF and WOFF2 are decoded in memory, fonts are loaded as process-private fonts and nothing is installed into Windows.
- Retro fonts are drawn by a built-in pixel renderer: character grid, 40-column sample screen, zoom 1x to 12x, inverse video, hover info and thumbnails in TC’s thumbnail view.
- Atari ANTIC 2, 3 and 4 modes are switched with
M,Ctrl+Ccopies the character set as an image. - Amiga: size files and
.fontdescriptors, ColorFonts in colour and Intellifont outline fonts (.type) rasterized at 12 to 48 px.
