I've never really got why anyone would want to reaally STUDY typography, especially since you've got so many 1000's of choices these days. In fact, I can't remember how many different Fonts I have downloaded for the variety of apps that I use - some install automatically (depending on your OS) and some you have add to the app later on - which isn't a problem - but keeping track of what's what is a REAL PAIN!
Further instead of SEARCHING and searching (or better still wasting TIME looking) for a particular font to either match what you're working on or what you WANT to add that needed look for your graphic or Document work and THEN try to remember the name - then there's a really cool FREE APP that's out there - (can't I've even tried to use it on a MAC) but it works GREAT with PC's! Just add the font or compare fonts in a single viewing pane so you can COMPARE on the fly! It's insanely easy - and saves an incredible amount of time wasted browsing around the 1000's of fonts on your machine.
It's FONT VIEW OK - you can get it from CNET (one of my FAVOURITE places to get apps so much so I subsribe to their updates - LOADS of GREAT INFO!). Be that as it may, it allows you to COMPARE FONTS and then PICK the ones that you need with a side by side comparison...just too easy.
Try it - you'll LOVE IT!
