Printers Apprentice 8.0 is a fantastic font manager for Windows Vista & XP. Whether you are a graphic artist, a publishing professional or a software enthusiast, if you have a lot of fonts, Printer's Apprentice will help you organize your collection. Font browsing, previewing and printing works with TrueType, Adobe Type, and OpenType fonts.
