FontDings V2.0 is the big brother of the Windows Character Map. When the program first runs, you select any font, installed or not and it will display on-screen, the full character set of the selected font. You can Bold or Italicize the selected font. But the main utility is the printing feature of FontDings V2.0. When you click on the Print icon, FontDings V2.0 will print a keyboard layout sheet of the selected font on one page. It will also indicate the keys to press to access the character you need. Although you can print every font on your system if you want to, it’s those Wingding type fonts that a user really wants to know about. Let’s say you need a clock face in your document. What are you going to do? Draw one? Well Wingdings comes with that design and to access it you must press ALT + 0192. That is hold down the ALT key while typing in 0 1 9 2. Don’t forget the leading zero. There are hundreds of fonts that aren’t just letters, but graphics….pictures of everything you could ever want or need. But accessing them using the character map is very tedious. With FontDings V2.0 you can create a Font reference book for all of your picture fonts. This way any character you could possibly want is easily accessible in your newly created FontDings V2.0 portfolio.
