# Font Viewer

&tdefontview; is an application to view and install different types of fonts:

- TrueType (`.ttf`)

- OpenType (`otf`, `.ttf`)

- Postscript type 1 (file extension on &Windows; & OS/2 `.pfb`/`.pfm`; on &UNIX;/&Linux; `.pfa`/`.afm`)

- BDF (Bitmap Distribution Format, file extension `.bdf`)

- PCF (Portable Compiled Format, file extension `.pcf`)

You can use it as standalone program to preview and install a font downloaded from the Internet. In the preview you can check that the font has all characters you need.

Additionally &tdefontview; can be launched from the &kcontrol; module Font Installer to use the extended preview capabilities of &tdefontview;.

To use &tdefontview; in &konqueror; select Services in the sidebar and go to the folders `Fonts/Personal` or `Fonts/System`. Then open the context menu with a &RMB; click on a font and start &tdefontview; by selecting it from the context menu.
