Show HN: Font Tester – Preview fonts on custom content
fonts.tomhadley.linkI'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!

Just a couple of updates:
- I added some fonts from 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.
I 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.
Great suggestion, I just added this feature.
What a cool project! Quite useful, thanks for sharing
Very useful and goes well beyond any font browser i've worked with
