FontGridMac gives you access to all the characters in your fonts. A zooming feature lets you see all the details of the glyphs. The keystrokes required to produce specific characters are displayed. A text entry field lets you preview and copy text in the selected font and style.

FontGridMac also features a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) font list, supports various text encodings, lets you copy glyphs as pictures, prints font preview pages and more. Enjoy!

Here are some key features of "FontGridMac":
See all the glyphs in your fonts. - FontGridMac's Glyph mode lets you see all the glyphs in your fonts, even those that are not mapped to characters.
Copy glyph outlines as pictures. - You can copy glyph outlines as PDF B?zier paths and paste them in a drawing application.
See the characters' full names. - FontGridMac shows the full name of the selected character. This is especially useful when trying to distinguish between characters that look the same, such as the degree sign (°) and the masculine ordinal indicator (?).
Print font preview pages. - You can print a preview page for the selected font and style. Preview pages show what a font looks like when used for writing text.
Display various character sets. - You can see all the characters available in character sets such as ISO Latin 1, Mac OS Roman, ASCII, Unicode and more. You can also choose to see only a specific range of the Unicode character set. This feature is especially useful for webmasters and people who work on multiple platforms.
Quickly find the font you are looking for. - The Go To Font command shows a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) font list that you can quickly pick from.
Quickly jump to any Unicode character. - The Go To Character command lets you quickly jump to any Unicode character in a font.
Change the size of the text in the text entry field. - The new Size menu lets you set the size of the text in the text entry field.
Use Mac OS X's Font Panel to select a font. - The Mac OS X Font Panel is now fully supported in FontGridMac.
Browse multiple fonts simultaneously. - You can now open multiple FontGridMac windows and have each of them display a different font and style.
Quickly copy characters and text to the clipboard. - The Copy Character and Copy Text buttons make it quicker to copy the selected character or the contents of the text entry field to the clipboard.
