2 ways to view installed fonts in Windows 10: Way 1: Check them with run command. Open Run by Windows+R, type fonts in the empty box and tap OK to access the Fonts folder. Way 2: View them in Control Panel. Step 1: Launch Control Panel. Step 2: Enter font in the top-right search box, and choose View installed fonts from the options. If you wish to see all characters the ALPHABETUM Unicode font contains (7,620 signs in version 14.00) click on the following link: ALPHABETUM character set (PDF document, 34 pages, 4,4 MB). ADVICE: The font uses many slots in the Private Use Area block (PUA) of Unicode (code points E000-F8FF), so it is entirely possibly, that the same slots are.

PopChar is a little program that, when activated, presents a table of charactersready for inserting into whatever you are working in. It has been aroundseemingly forever and has evolved with the Mac, from the days of black-and-whiteMacs to Mac OS X, then again from PowerPC to Intel. It started out as freewarebut now costs €30. It now has many more features, but is PopChar X a must-haveutility for everyone?
Installation
PopChar X’s installation involves the typical mounting of the disk image anddragging the application into the Applications folder. A nice extra touchPopChar has is that the first you launch it, it adds itself to the list of loginitems so that the next time you login it is ready for use. Unregistered, PopCharmakes some characters ghosted and thus not selectable. Enter the license andyou’ll have PopChar at the ready for all your needs, whether it is a u withumlaut (ü) or “olé.” PopChar’s license entitles the user two years of freeupgrades.
Usage
Pretend that you run the fictitious ATPM Mac Users Group and that you manageto invite Raphaël Sebbe of Creaceed, Jorge Llubiá of LateNiteSoft, and GüntherBlaschek of PopChar fame to a meeting. Besides being Mac software developers,all three people have a non-standard letter in their names. You want to beculturally-sensitive and not Anglicize or Americanize the names, so you need toenter them complete with a diaeresis or acute mark. You can get away with usingthe built-in Character Palette, but you may find the task smoother if it isdone via PopChar X.
One major annoyance I find with Character Palette is that it is obtrusive. Youcannot just insert a character and get back to your application. Instead, youhave to mouse over to Character Palette’s close gadget to get it out of sight.You can enable Minimize on Application Switch, but that’s exactly what happens.Character Palette would only minimize when you use Command-Tab key, not when youclick in the application you were working on when you had a need to insert acharacter. On the other hand, with PopChar, you can get back to your applicationunobstructed simply by using Command-Tab, mouse click, or even after onecharacter was inserted. Why, even the Esc key dismisses the PopChar window.

The PopChar window can quickly get out of your way in many ways, even withthe Esc key (not shown as an option).
Another issue I have with Character Palette is that the characters are toosub-categorized. You first have to know which language a certain character isin, e.g. Japanese or Chinese. Even when you choose All Characters, the list oflanguages actually expands to include even more language groups, like South Asia,East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Even when you select Roman, you still have tothink ahead which category the character you need is in—Math, Punctuation,Crosses, etc.
Imagenomic professional plugin suite for adobe photoshop 1720. Not so with PopChar because all the characters available are in one window. Thecharacters are sub-categorized, although by default they are all shown. You canhide them by using the twistie gadget. The process of entering symbols is avisual one, so it is helpful that we can browse through PopChar’s offeringswithout having to know which category the characters belong to. PopChar makesthe visual experience even more readily available by maintaining a RecentCharacters list. It also offers the option of highlighting up to 30 recentlyused characters. What’s more, PopChar has its own subcategories likePunctuation and Currency Symbols, but they are tucked away in a drawer, asan option and not as the only way to find characters.

Character Palette Today, Tomorrow Font Book
As PopChar shows characters for a given typeface, in some ways it can serve as areplacement for Font Book. I am fond of dingbat typefaces, like Wingdingsor Webdings. One dingbat character may not equal a thousand words, but they arefun to use nonetheless. Unfortunately, it is hard to remember which key produceswhich picture. I know I once setup a spreadsheet just for the purpose, but I nowhave no idea where the sheet is. Font Book shows the typefaces in alphabeticalorder and perhaps some other order, but there is no way to insert characters viaFont Book. With PopChar, you see what the characters look like and are just oneclick away from inserting them.
If I want to insert Moof, I would just click it, no need to know that z isits corresponding key in the Cairo font.
PopChar has a few other useful features not found elsewhere with the built-inapplications. Instead of inserting the actual characters, you have the option ofinserting the HTML code corresponding to the character, e.g. ê for asmall e with circumflex. For those of us with bad eyesight, PopChar providesthe option of different font sizes for the displayed characters. If that is notenough, you can enable the magnifying glass so that as you hover over acharacter it is enlarged.
I can hardly find any problems with PopChar. You would think for such a simple,single-purpose application the documentation would consist of a Web page or two.In reality, PopChar comes with a 16-page PDF document that covers every aspectof the program. The only bug I’ve found with PopChar is the label for theHide/Show Font List menu item. By default the font list is not displayed, butthe first time you see the option is labeled as Hide Font. After the menu itemis selected, it is correctly shown as Hide Font List.

The only extra feature I wish PopChar would have is a way to bring up thePopChar window via a hotkey. It is a very minor gripe because to choose acharacter you would need to use a mouse anyway, so reaching for the mouse toclick PopChar’s hotspot is not much of an issue.
The only real turnoff, I think, is PopChar’s price. In my mind, small programslike PopChar should cost about $30. Calendarique 2 0 1. At €30, PopChar instead comes out around$40. Perhaps it is Ergonis’ way of encouraging people to buy the MacilityProductivity Suite, which contains PopChar X, Typinator (enter repetitive textand graphics), and KeyCue (improve visibility and usability of shortcut keys).As is the usual case with bundled software, instead of €70 you pay €45. I hopethe marketing strategy works for Ergonis; otherwise a fine piece of softwarewill not be used just because it costs a little more.

Conclusion
If your Mac computing involves much typing of special characters such as vowelswith diacritical marks or symbols, the work is easier if you have PopChar. Youcan effectively retire the built-in Character Palette, which gets in the waybecause its window does not come and go as easily as PopChar’s. You can also usePopChar to view fonts, especially dingbats, and then insert the various pictures asneeded. The software is bug-free, and documentation is comprehensive. If you canoverlook the relatively higher price PopChar commands, it is indeed a Very Nicetool to add to your kit.
