AMP Font Viewer vs FontCap

AMP Font Viewer is a free Windows utility for browsing and managing fonts on a computer. It shows installed fonts and fonts in a folder, with several display options for viewing lists. The program handles TrueType, OpenType, and Type 1 formats. Fonts can be installed individually, as a list from a folder, or temporarily until AMP Font Viewer closes. You can remove fonts and arrange them into categories. A scratchpad provides a place to try typefaces, and the program can print font lists with a sample of each font. English and Spanish versions are available. The product page lists version 3.86, which added copying installed font files to a folder from the font-list window. AMPsoft offers a 522 KB installer and a 483 KB ZIP file. Windows Vista and Windows 7 guidance covers running as administrator when security settings block permanent installation. The listed plan is free.

FontCap syncs font libraries across Mac, Windows, and Linux computers through its built-in cloud. It automatically finds installed fonts and supports TTF, OTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 files. After sign-in, it downloads and installs fonts that are missing from a device. Users can drag font files into the app to upload and sync them, view connected machines, see where fonts came from, and set sync preferences for each device. FontCap identifies duplicates using SHA-256 file hashes and can run up to five downloads at once, with automatic retry. The maker lists macOS 10.13 or later, Windows 10 or later in 64-bit, and Linux AppImage or .deb builds. Its privacy policy says the app collects account, device, and synced-font data, but does not sell data or track behavior. Users can export font files, delete fonts, or remove an account and its associated data. FontCap is free, with every feature and font included and no subscription tiers.
