FontLoader 1.1 by Moon Software
FontLoader an utility to make your TrueType font installation a snap. FontLoader consists of two modules:
A shell context menu extension that allows you to load/unload/install and uninstall fonts directly by right-clicking on a font file or folder containing fonts. This avoids painful font installation routine that Windows offers by default and allows you to intuitively load/unload fonts. Useful for both novice and professional computer users.
Font group loader in system tray. You can build your own font groups to load on demand, just by clicking on the program icon in the system tray area near the clock. The group loader module is small (only around 70 KB) so it does not take much of your system resources and loads fast on startup. Useful mostly to professional users and graphics artists.
Please note FontLoader works with TrueType fonts only.
FontLoader is designed to be used on English language Windows verisons. It may work with other languages too, but it does not take advantage of localized string in font naming tables, so font families installed by FontLoader may use English family names (at the same time when your system uses localized font family names).
FontLoader shell extension can't add itself to context menu of font files that reside in system fonts folder (Control Panel). That is because this is a special, not file system folder (as you can see no other common commands are available). However, you can use our Font Xplorer program to tweak your system fonts folder so it looks like usual file system folder and displays font file names instead of font full names. On that case FontLoader also works on system fonts folder.
