FontPage
One thing that has been overlooked in the word processing game is a good font viewer/manager. You know, just something that can help you view your current fonts, install new ones and then compare them until you are absolutely sure about your choices. Fonts can really help set a tone and a theme for a document and finding the right font for the job can mean everything. Around here, for instance, I use nothing but Ariel and New Times Roman. And let me tell you, that’s about as exciting as talcum powder! So, it’s nice to let my hair down and use some zany unorthodox fonts every once in awhile. I know, I know, I’m a wild man. I just can’t hold it in!
All kidding aside, I do like to use other fonts and it’s a must if you are making a flyer or want to use something that helps add to the theme of a particular document. Whatever the reason, if you find yourself exploring your fontual boundaries from time to time, today’s program could be the tool for you.
FontPage is a unique little creature that allows the user to perform different procedures in regards to the fonts on their system.
Here are just some of the things you get with FontPage:
- Rich and easy interface
- Examines and compares all of the fonts on your system
- View any typeface in bold, italic, underline and 3D styles
- Print a specimen page for any font or print a list of them
- Fonts list printing with adjustable size and string option
- Fonts listing selectable by font types
- Character Table with copy to clipboard and print options
- Compare window with two displays and user input box
- Extra Preview window for uninstalled fonts

- List function (to create a list with TTFs and their font names)
- Adjustable color settings in main display
- Support for visual styles (for Windows XP)
- Font specific Help file on board
So, there you go. It's a cool little tool from Bluefive.pair.com. It's nothing real fancy, but it's something I know I will use quite a bit. So, keep those fonts under control with FontPage and always have the right font for the job!

Welcome to Tribal Pages! This is where you can build your family tree, upload family photos and check out your genealogy, all for free! You can even make a Web page for free that houses your family tree so that you can share it with others.
Navigation can be found along the top of the page with the tabs: Home, Family Trees, Search, News and Forum.
Home – This tab will bring you back to the main page at any point during your exploration.
Family Trees – Here you will find a small listing of Web pages that hold family trees whose administrators did a thorough job of documenting their family’s history. You can also search Tribal Pages from here with the engine at the top of the page. All you need to have is the last name of the person you are searching for, even though there are fields for the first name and death year.
Search – In this section, you are faced with two search engines. There is one that allows you to search the USA death records and another that searches the Tribal Pages. For the death records, you can fill in the following search fields: first and last name, year range for birth or death and any USA location. Again, the only required field though is the last name.
News – Here you can read all the latest news and announcements for this Web site.
Forum – You’ll find two message boards on this site. One board is for genealogy and the other is for technical issues with the site. Here you can ask your questions or help answer the questions from others.
