Font Wrangler
Effortless Windows font management
For Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Windows' facility for supporting TrueType fonts isn't really matched by its facilities for managing them. While few Windows users will have trouble keeping track of the handful of typefaces that come with Windows, there are innumerable sources of much more interesting fonts.
If you install several hundred fonts in Windows, you'll probably find that keeping track of them using nothing more than the font management tools in the Windows control panel will become taxing at best. Simply installing new fonts is analogous to juggling live polecats in a dark room after midnight. Remembering what all your installed fonts look like is still more adventurous.
Font Wrangler is the font manager that should have come with Windows. It will allow you to install and remove TrueType fonts in batches; preview fonts before you install them; browse downloaded font files; view font copyright information; change the names of fonts to resolve naming conflicts and print font "contact sheets." Its intuitive user interface can be mastered by most potted plants and some elected officials.
This software is available for electronic delivery and on DVD-ROM.
Font Wrangler's Features Include:
Install and remove TrueType fonts with a visual, intuitive user interface.- Browse downloaded fonts so you can decide which ones you'd like to keep.
- Weed your downloaded font collection to rename or delete selected files.
- Build professional font download web pages with no knowledge of HTML.
- Browse, view and install TTF and OTF fonts from within ZIP archives, with no need to extract them first.
- Print a "contact sheet" of fonts so you'll have a paper reference of your downloaded and installed fonts.
- Change the font names of TrueType fonts to make them more easily remembered and to resolve typeface name conflicts.

As of this writing, if you have previously registered or upgraded Font Wrangler 14, you can still upgrade to Font Wrangler 15 for half price. We are able to provide some limited support for the version 14 software, but it's becoming increasingly vulnerable to changes in Windows and some third-party security products.
If you have previously registered Font Wrangler 14 and you need to download the final release to reinstall your software, please contact us for a download link. Be sure to include your Font Wrangler 14 registration name and key.
Font Wrangler 2 through 12 have reached their ends-of-life, and they have been removed from distribution. We no longer have replacement installers for these products. We are able to provide replacement registration keys and limited support for Font Wrangler 14. We recommend that you register Font Wrangler 15.
