About flipping typical
A way to explore the popular typefaces you have on your computer. Click the black bar at the top of the screen and type in the name of the font you want. It will become the main font and be remembered in the future. We create some hidden elements and measure them before and after changing their font family. It turns out that this isn't a new idea. Just a few keyboard shortcuts: b = bold, i = italic, j = justify text, a = sort alphabetically, r = sort randomly, e = enter text to compare, E = overwrite text to compare, n = toggle night mode. Works on Firefox 2+, Safari 3+, IE7+. iOS5 Mobile Safari. OS/X is a fair bit nicer than Windows.

Workmark
Helps you choose fonts for your creative projects. Enter a word or a phrase to preview with fonts on your computer. Did you ever find yourself squinting at a list of fonts, in a drop-down menu, trying to find the right font? Only to find out that the font that you picked doesn't even look good with your text? Wordmark shows your text with all your fonts, arranged in a visual grid, allowing you to compare and pick the best one. You can use Wordmark to pick the right font for your crafting projects, logos, sign, posters, invitations, school projects, quotes, and anywhere that you want to make a difference with the right font. Type a word, phrase, paragraph, or letter into the big text area and hit Enter on your keyboard. Wordmark will show you how your text looks with the fonts on your computer. You can scroll through the results and choose a few options by clicking on them. Wordmark automatically adjusts the size of the fonts based on the length of your entry.

Font family overview pages have a ‘Sample text’ field where you can enter and preview alternate text in place of the default [Pangrams]. By clicking the blue triangle icon, there are other various pangrams — even different languages — to choose from and preview. Our pangrams are quirky sentences that contain all the letters of the alphabet. Scale of the sample text can be adjusted by moving the slider left or right. To fit the sample text within the preview area width, check the ‘Fit to width’ box. To change the font or background to another color, choose them using the color picker.

FontExpert
Attach your font folders, index your fonts and search for fonts. Pick required font by typing its name in the Quick Search box. FontExpert displays the list of all installed typefaces and lets you explore folders and preview uninstalled fonts located on your compact disks or DVDs, local disks, removable disks or network drives. You can preview the font as a paragraph of text or as a detailed character map. It is easy to choose the desired font size, font style or color. It is easy to manage any typefaces that are shown in any view of the program. You can sort, filter, preview fonts, copy, move, delete font files, activate or deactivate fonts, add or link fonts to font groups (sets). The program can control fonts located in the Windows Fonts and Psfonts folder (used by Adobe Type Manager), so you do not need to remove fonts from standard folders as some font managers require.
