There is always something about AmigaOS software development that still amazes me a lot. Especially all of the free to use software that is really nicely done, like MUIMapparium (app that lets you browse openstreetmap maps)which you can read a review of here. Now, there is another fantastic tool which is totally free that makes AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS a bit more useful for daily usage. The name of it is FontWalker and it let’s you see how all of your Fonts looks like.
