Ratio search method allows to specify aspect ratios of two any characters of the font. This allows you to distinguish condensed and extended font variations. Finally, Name search is used to find fonts by its name by specifying a substring that the font name should contain. Of course, you can combine these methods to perform more advanced search. There are several font preview modes.
Normal mode displays a name of font and a short sample string.
And finally, in Brief mode FontAssist displays only short font samples arranging them in rows and columns. As soon as you find the appropriate font you can place a mouse cursor over its title and a small tip window pops up displaying the font full name.
