TypeTester is an awesome tool for previewing how various fonts will look if you use them on a Web page or other on-screen presentation. You can supply your own text or use the supplied dummy text. Then you choose a font, size, color, leading, background, etc., and then view it as blocks of text displayed in every possible style: bold, italic, uppercase, small caps, etc. Font choices are divided into “Web-safe” (fonts such as Arial, Times and Verdana that are available on Windows and Macs), Mac OS X default, and Windows default, but you can also choose any font that’s currently active on your Mac.
You can create up to three columns, each one previewing a different combination of font, color, size, etc. When you see a result you like, you can click a button that pops up a window containing copyable CSS code for using that combination of font settings.
