FontViewer is a freeware tool that displays all fonts available on a Symbian powered phone.

This is quite useful when developping new fonts and checking that they are correctly loaded by the font and bitmap server or just to check which fonts are available on which device.

This application is for S60 2nd Edition only. If you are using a S60 3rd Edition phone, you should use PhoneInfo instead.

Note: The Install Font function of the option menu does currently nothing. The small popup that comes to confirm the installation of a new font is just a fake message.

Hi Eric,

Would you explain how do you enumerate fonts available in the system? What system API do you use for that?

No problem, here is the function that retrieves the font list (taken from the fontviewer code):

/**
* Second phase constructor. Initialise the font list.
*/
void CFvModel::ConstructL()
{
 TTypefaceSupport *typeface;
 iFontCount = iCoeEnv->ScreenDevice()->NumTypefaces();
 for( TInt i=0;i<iFontCount;i++)
 {
           typeface = new TTypefaceSupport;
       User::LeaveIfNull(typeface);
           iCoeEnv->ScreenDevice()->TypefaceSupport(*typeface,i);
           User::LeaveIfError(iFont.Append(typeface));
 }

Thanks!
