BabelMap

BabelMap, designed by Andrew West, is a better alternative to the Windows Character Map. It allows you to see a font's glyphs larger and more clearly than the Window's Character Map. BabelMap is useful if your design software doesn't have a way to view all of the glyphs contained within the font. This program is a stand alone executable file, meaning you can simply un-zip and run, with no installation necessary. BabelMap is free and fully functional for personal or commercial use, but donations are welcome via PayPal on the BabelMap website.
