Type Browser
After ending up with too many customized Web Font Specimen documents I decided to build a simple tool to see how fonts are displayed on the web. Type Browser helps you get a good overview of how a font looks in a browser. It's all HTML/CSS/JavaScript and can easily be used on locally on your computer. A couple of fonts from The League of Moveable Type is included for demonstration purpose.
- Demo
- Download
- Fork and help make it better: source code on Git Hub.
How to use
Convert your fonts to the various web formats using the @font-face generator.
Then put the font files in the fonts directory and edit config/config.js (more detailed instructions inside config.js).
Additional information is included in the README.
