Quick Tip: Preview Mac Fonts

If you’re looking for a quick way to preview your fonts on a mac, Finder is here to help you. Assuming that you have OSX 10.5 Leopard, just open up Finder and browse to your fonts directory (they should be in the Library/Fonts directory by default). Select “Cover Flow” view and you can see the first letter of the alphabet rendered in the selected font.

The first letter of each font may not be enough for you, so as you’re browsing through them, press the space bar. You’ll get a quick view of the entire alphabet.
