PopChar X 8.0 MacOSX

PopChar helps you get the most out of your font collection. With its crystal-clear interface, PopChar provides a frustration-free way to access any font's special characters.

Features
-Expanded accessibility - Your Mac includes over 700 fonts, each of which contains thousands of characters – Why not make them as accessible as possible? PopChar makes it happen.

-Liberating compatibility - No matter what app you are using, PopChar brings snappy simplicity to all font-related tasks. Whether you're working with a word processor or a Web browser, PopChar integrates seamlessly.
