I’m a (very) end-user of Ubuntu and i’m still fear of terminal. I know i have to face it nonetheless. But right now, let’s not talk about the terminal, i wanna share with you guys about 2 nice apps that i’m using right now. It’s not new application. I just found it. I hope it’s useful.

Gfontview

My friend just gave me a CD that contains maybe 3000 fonts and of course i don’t want to view it one by one using Gnome Font Viewer. So, i search font viewer application in Synaptic and found GFontView.

GFontView is a font viewer but with a nice feature to view your font. You can test it by typing your words. Just like fonts500.com usually do in the early days.
In Mac OS X you have Font Book that i secretly adore.

How about the font table? Here it is…

Looks nice isn’t? I hope in the next version they will have some color generator and install font automatically to the font:///. Go download it, or search it from Synaptic.

F-Spot

The second one is F-Spot. It’s a photo manager. Not a bloated application, simple with a edit photos (some touch-up, brightness, contrast, etc) and it’s fun to organize. You can add your photos as a screen saver too. Apparently i’m using the old version, hmm.. i’ll download the latest version soon here.
