Show HN: Font Tester – Preview fonts on custom content
I've been looking for new fonts to use for a new project, but there weren't any great tools for seeing how a particular serif font for headers would look with another sans font for paragraph text, so I built a tool that lets you compare, adjust, and tinker with the way you'd use a font in your specific project before downloading it/setting it up.
This is only using the free Google fonts for now. If there are other open-source fonts I should add, let me know and I'll add them!
- solumos 1y agoJust a couple of updates: - I added some fonts from https://fontlibrary.org/ https://fontlibrary.org/ - I added a "click to select" feature to the previews - Added support for code blocks (previously missing) Would love any feedback, or any suggestions for free fonts to add.
- kkaske 1y agoI really like this! Nicely done! Would it b possible to allow users to type in a custom font into a text box? That way a font that is install on their system can be tested. Could allow people to use this tool to test commercial fonts.
- solumos 1y agoGreat suggestion, I just added this feature.
- ugh123 1y agoVery useful and goes well beyond any font browser i've worked with
- replwoacause 1y agoWhat a cool project! Quite useful, thanks for sharing
