FontViewer displays all the fonts on your system
and provides options for choosing among them.

Requires Java 1.5 or at least Java runtime jre 5.0
Check your java version at
	  http://www.java.com/en/download/
If your system is not the latest,
it will offer to download what you need.

The default fontcategories.txt file is in the .jar file.
You can modify it and store the result elsewhere.
Then you need to provide that filename
as the command line argument.

_________________________
Installation on MS Windows

First check that you have a suitable version of Java, as noted above.

Create an installation directory, nominally C:\Program Files\physpics.com\FontViewer.
Download InstallFontViewer.jar to that directory and double click the new file.
Three items are installed:  FontViewer.jar, a shortcut to that jar,
and a directory containing the icon used by the shortcut.
You can now delete InstallFontViewer.jar.

To run FontViewer double click on FontViewer.jar or on the shortcut.

For convenience copy the shortcut to your desktop
or to a directory for some task where you need the application.
To create an entry for FontViewer in your Start Menu,
drag the desktop icon into the "Start" button,
 pause for the menu to appear, and continue to drag onto the menu.
You must drop it first on the outer menu.
Then you can drag it from there to a sub-menu.

If clicking the shortcut fails, consult the "Advanced" section below.

ADVANCED

If double-clicking a .jar file does not run the application,
the file-association of .jar files may be incorrect.
See http://netbeans.org/kb/articles/javase-deploy.html#troubleshooting

If typing "java" on a command line does NOT produce
	"Usage: java [-options] class [args...]"
and forty more lines, you may need to reinstall Java.

If Java is installed, and a java command fails, you can try
explicitly refering to Java in the command.  If Java is installed in
	c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
then the command to run FontViewer is
	"c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\java" -jar c:\...install-directory...\FontViewer.jar

When you install FontViewer, you also install copies
of all the libraries it needs. If you install other Java applications,
you may have multiple copies if the libraries. When space is tight,
you can move all the library .jar files to a single directory
and then add that directory to the CLASSPATH environment variable.
One useful how-to is the CLASSPATH entry in
	http://leepoint.net/notes-java/
More detail is in
	http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/classpath.html
The classpath can also be named on the command line as in
	java -cp /path/to/library/library.jar;/path/to/another/package.jar ...
