What is Font Tap?

Font Tap

Font Tap is a handy tool that helps you manage fonts on your computer. Windows offers a bunch of built-in tools for managing fonts, and Font Tap just makes it even easier. You can explore tons of fonts using its simple interface and even export specific characters as images!

Easy to Use

The best part? You don’t even need to install Font Tap! Once you download it, you can start using it right away. It’s super portable, which means you can keep it on a thumb drive and use it on any computer without leaving a trace behind. Since the program only reads fonts, your PC’s health stays safe and sound.

User-Friendly Interface

If you've ever used the Character Map in Windows, you'll feel right at home with Font Tap. It looks similar but adds some cool extra features. You get to see all the characters from your selected font in one spot, and when you click on one, it highlights and shows a preview of what it'll look like when exported.

Exporting Characters Made Simple

So what does Font Tap actually do? It allows you to save any character as an image file—perfect for use in other projects! The image format is BMP. You can change the background color while working with the character but it'd be nice if there was an option to adjust the transparency too.

Customizing Your Fonts

Select your desired font from a dropdown menu, and you can jazz it up with options like bold, italic, underline, or even change its color! Just remember that the size of the font impacts how tall your output image will be; you'll need to set the width yourself.

Limitations to Consider

However, it's worth noting that not all fonts are supported by Font Tap. If you're trying to export certain characters, they might show up as placeholders instead. Unfortunately, saving them doesn’t fix this issue at all!

Final Thoughts

In summary, Font Tap has good intentions but may fall short for some users. You can only export one character at a time without transparency options available. If you're looking for something more versatile in terms of font support, you might want to check out other alternatives.
