FontList

From author's site:

If you design something and you are looking for the right font, it can take a lot of time. In word processing, DTP and (web)design programs, you can often only select one font at a time. Finding the right font often means searching through all your fonts.

With FontList, you can create a HTML file that will show all the fonts installed on your computer. With your browser, you can pick the right font in no time.

Using FontList, you can change the predefined sample text, exclude seldom used fonts from the list and change the path for the HTML file.

EclipseStyle

EclipseStyle releases web developers from the shackles of using Notepad as their CSS editor forever! Now virtually any attribute of a stylesheet, or even a web page, can be updated immediately. Sure, a few stylesheet generators are out there, and they are perfectly fine, if you never want to make any changes, already know the names and values of all of the CSS attributes, and love working with a grid of 100 lists.

EclipseStyle puts other stylesheet editors to shame with its features such as a preview window, intuitive tabbed interface, and much more. It even includes an introduction to stylesheets if you are unfamiliar, as well as complete tutorials and references to the EclipseStyle interface.
