From the original README.MD

The Font Testing Page is a tool primarily intended for type designers and independent foundries to 'Drag and Drop' their work in progress into a browser. It can also be used by art directors, graphic designers, teachers and students interested in seeing how a typeface works on the web.

There is a short video demonstrating this tool, http://vimeo.com/40296571

Operation is simple:

  • Drag the font you want to try to the upper area of the Testing Page
  • Add more fonts and you'll see their file names and file sizes as buttons

Below the drop area you see some buttons to select different layouts:

  • Headlines: Displays examples: 72, 60, 48, 36 and 30 to 12.
  • Text: Displays text blocks, from 20 to 10.
  • Adhesion: Shows examples using only 'adhesion' text. Intended for the early stages on a typeface design.
  • Hamburgefonstiv Examples using 'Hamburgefonstiv' text.
  • Lowercase only: Displays examples of 72, 60, 48, 36, 30, 24, 18 and 16 to 10.
  • Caps: Displays examples of words in Sentence Case at 60.
  • All Caps: Displays examples of words in All-Caps at 60.
  • Layout: Displays examples of Headline, Subhead and Body text.
  • Kern: Displays examples of combinations of letters and miscellaneous signs.
  • Latin: Diacritics for 103 Latin languages, pangrams and text samples.
  • Non-Latin: Examples in arabic, armenian, greek, hebrew and +10 Non-Latin languages
  • Hinting: Basic Char-set at different sizes to check for hinting problems

Notes:

  • Requires Firefox or Chrome
  • 100% safe: Your fonts are only stored in your own browser (using localStorage) and nothing gets uploaded to any server
