Web Design Software Pick of the Week: Font-Stack-Tester
When you create a font stack, you are creating a fallback system for your customers. If they don't have the first font, the page will display with the second, and so on. But most designers don't test their pages looking at the alternate fonts, and this can cause problems with some designs. The challenge is that it can be tedious to view and remove all your fonts one at a time to do testing on them. And there aren't a lot of alternatives to doing that. But this script can help. The Font-Stack-Tester scans your CSS and puts an overlay on the page to allow you to remove the fonts manually. It's still in beta stages, and eventually it will be a bookmarklet, but right now it's pretty neat if you want to put the JS scripts into your pages for testing.
