Change fontviewer text

OK got it sorted!! Seems I needed the beta version of resource hacker for 64-bit files. So I've changed the fontview.exe.mui file and replaced it with a straight copy and paste - no need for the file replacer. Thanks Neutron16!!

The other choice would be to use a different tool for the job, if that's an option for you?.

Nexus Font (portable version available just below the Help tab) is a fast freeware font manager for Windows.

Good to hear!
I knew that my advice was correct for x86,but I have never tested that in x64.

then edit file: C:\Windows\System32\en-US\fontview.exe.mui
(Instead en-US could be your system language)

Apparently this doesn't work in Windows 11. I edited the phrase in fontview.exe.mui, replaced the file with the edited one, restarted the computer but the Font Viewer still displays the original text.
