I initially made these QuickView charts for my own HTML-scripting reference due to the many technical variables involved in using fonts with the <FONT FACE> tag in Web pages. I've put them on the Web as a helpful guide showing what some of the font options are and how they display (when you have the font installed), providing HTML that works on supporting browsers and also giving links to developers from where you can obtain the highlighted fonts. When you have the fonts installed, the QuickViews become an invaluable aid to selecting a face that best fits the appearance you're aiming to achieve, plus appropriate alternates -- or so it's been for me, and my hope is that you will find it equally helpful for your needs.

Another important element: they are being made available as freeware.
