Check before you install
If you've downloaded several fonts but aren't sure which one you like, previewing each one before installing saves you from cluttering your system with fonts you'll never use.
Once you've found the one
After previewing and narrowing down your options, installing the font you actually like is quick, and the preview step means you'll be more confident in the result once it's applied to your document.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I type custom text into the preview window?
Some preview windows let you type in your own sample text so you can see exactly how a specific word or phrase looks in that font.
If I just preview a font without installing it, does the file stay on my computer?
Yes β closing the preview window doesn't delete the downloaded font file. It stays right where you saved it, ready to open and install whenever you need it.
