HW VSP is a software driver that adds a virtual serial port (e.g. COM5) to the operating system and redirects the data from this port via a TCP/IP network to another hardware interface, which is specified by its IP address and port number. HW VSP3 support even NT Services and 64 bit Windows 8. 5.2 Commercial license.

From A. & M. Neuber Software:
Typograf is a top rate font manager for Windows that seems to be designed with the professional in mind. This program offers deep features and a clean interface that is well suited for graphic designers and other professionals who need to keep their fonts in order. However, the interface is simple enough that anyone with an interest in typography can use it. The program can store several different font types: OpenType, TrueType, PostScript Type 1 and even printer fonts. This program contains a wide array of information on your given font, including file name, font name, font file size, and copyright information. In addition, some of these fields are editable, allowing you to change, for example, the name of a font, or its copyright information. If you have a particular font type that you are looking for, the program allows you to search through your database for fonts of particular qualities, such as searching by serif or spacing. Typograf has a useful Compare feature, which allows you to select two or more different fonts and compare them side by side. You can compare not only sample text and other visual samples of the font, but character width, file size, copyright information, character mapping and more. If you want to see how different fonts work on different paper stock, Typograf allows you to print out test pages of either character sets or of a keyboard layout. Typograf's Sets allow you to group your fonts into user-defined groups. These custom-named Sets can be used for any number of purposes, such as creating a group of similarly themed fonts, sorting them by copyright status, or grouping a set of fonts that you need from a specific project. Typograf is compatible with Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000 and Windows Server, and has a negligible install size of 2MB. It is available for $35, which includes access to future Typograf software updates. There is also a volume discount, which is convenient for businesses or academic institutions.

What do you need to know about free software?

I'm having trouble to read more than one character using my program, I can't seem to figure out what went wrong with my program.

here are the results I get

actually I was expecting this

something like the above mentioned which is able read multiple characters at the same time not one by one.

I see a couple of issues.

First:

ser.read() is only going to return 1 byte at a time.

If you specify a count

Typograf 5 1 2 Serial Ports

it will read 5 bytes (less if timeout occurrs before 5 bytes arrive.)

If you know that your input is always properly terminated with EOL characters, better way is to use

Ports

That will continue to read characters until an EOL is received.

Second:

Even if you get ser.read() or ser.readline() to return multiple bytes,since you are iterating over the return value, you willstill be handling it one byte at a time.

Get rid of the

and just say:

Serial sends data 8 bits at a time, that translates to 1 byte and 1 byte means 1 character.

You need to implement your own method that can read characters into a buffer until some sentinel is reached. The convention is to send a message like 12431n indicating one line.

So what you need to do is to implement a buffer that will store X number of characters and as soon as you reach that n, perform your operation on the line and proceed to read the next line into the buffer.

Note you will have to take care of buffer overflow cases i.e. when a line is received that is longer than your buffer etc...
