TypeTester: Quite a Handy Tool!

I stumbled across this tool the other day. TypeTester is a tool that enables you to test and compare different fonts on screen. Using the provided Lipsum text or your own block of text, you can create three different styles and view them on the same page for a quick comparison. This nifty tool let’s you control many aspects of your text, but a few things I’d like to see implemented would have to be:
- Support for image backgrounds
- A more obvious “Get the CSS” link (there is one under the Tools tab, which I find to be rather inconvenient)
- An input box for custom CSS
Overall a great tool, make sure to bookmark this one!
Yea i found it too some time ago. Really handy tool
The Font Thing is another variation on this. It is more useful from the graphic design and photoshop standpoint of allowing you to use all your fonts installed on PC rather than just the standards. Two different focuses on the font niche.
My review and link to the freeware app is available at http://www.oastler.ca/my-002/reviews/20070201_the-font-thing-is-the-thing/
Pretty nifty tool. I came across it before but didn’t have time to try it out. I’ll definitely be using it in the future.
well its a truly great site! Bookmarked it!
How can a site see the fonts in my system?? Confused as well as amazed…
Thanks for sharing it!
