About FontPreviewer:
FontPreviewer is a very basic font previewer for BeOS R5.0.3.

It uses libfreetype2 to display the character map of fonts that you "drag and drop" onto the window. This means it supports alot of font formats (see http://www.freetype.org for details) and can load fonts that aren't even detectable under BeOS (such as PS-AdobeFont-1.1 fonts).
Latest Version
   
Details about this version:
1.1 fixes:
-the scrollbar
-drawing slowness/flickering
-can use mouse, pageup/dn, home/end for scrollbar

I think that's about it.
Thanks to the japanese user who had some code on the jpbe.net forums for the scrollbars. I have since modified it and incorporated it into fontpreviewer.

Users who don't read the README will be chmod +x'd :P
