If you got it, flont it.

Web-based typeface previewing tools are a bit old hat. However, the font consuming public still expects that if you sell type, your site should be able to display type in ways beyond the static jpeg. To this point, we launched a crisp, clean type previewer called Flont last week on the Veer site. We realize that it’s not a perfect implementation. For example, it doesn’t support kern pairs yet. But with EyeWire’s Type Viewer stuck in aliased text mode, and ITC’s Euripides currently missing in action, we think we’re filling a widening gap. Let me know what you think.
