This is a great tool. Seems to be a much easier/faster version of Tim Brown's Web Font Specimen (http://webfontspecimen.com/).

If you're interested in hacking on this project it's available on github to look at.

Pretty cool. It would be very nice if it had some default fonts in there to just play around with out-of-the-box.


Seems like a nice idea, but I get a "Data was not valid JSON." error when drag-dropping any font on FF6 Ubuntu.


You may be the same person who mentioned on twitter about this. That error should only happen when dropping some data that isn't in the correct format, it should never get to that part of the code if you're dropping a font file from your file system. Do you mind creating an issue on the github repo[1] with some info?

I've tested on ubuntu 11 with FF5 and all seems well, perhaps FF6 may be doing something to cause it.
