Type Tester .org

Found this in Communication Arts.
Typetester.org is site that allows you to sample type and see how it will display on a screen.

The Typetester is an online application for comparison of the fonts for the screen. Its primary role is to make web designer’s life easier. As the new fonts are bundled into operating systems, the list of the common fonts will be updated.


Typetester’s code structure is XHTML, styled with the finest CSS and driven by the JavaScript for manipulating DOM structures. Typetester will not work without JavaScript enabled.

The site also has these link which I found to be interesting;
