~Karen~ Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'm glad you asked this question, Bobbie, because I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully there will be a way to use it in Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fit2walk Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'll be waiting to hear a reply, too, since I'm using Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandiC. Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'm anxiously waiting to hear something on this too. Just got my new laptop and it has Vista, which I haven't even started to get used to yet, beyond the basics. I haven't even figured out how to move things to my EHD yet. But I sure was able to get here ok. My fonts didn't transfer over into CS3, but I do have a folder with all my fonts, so I can load them, I think. I've gotten way too many beautiful fonts and I need a way to manage them. And there are some preloaded ones I'd like to get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The font thing is a older window95/98 programs that was never updated I use Amp Font Viewer with our Vista. Many of newer font programs should work with vista.

StephRN Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I hadn't used the font thing until I read this post back in November. Now I have a Vista LT and I am able to use it on that. I don't know if it has full functionality since I've never used it before but it does open and allow me to type in my sample wording and arrow up & down through the fonts to see what it looks like in each one.

scrappinang Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I loved The Font Thing on my old laptop that ran Vista, but my new laptop has Vista 64 bit and The Font Thing does not work. I found AMP Font Viewer that does almost the same thing as The Font Thing, but I don't know if it's just an adjustment period, but I really miss my Font Thing.
