Type tester websites?
Hello, this is my first post here, so forgive me should I not be aware of certain etiquette.
I've scoured the TypeDrawers archive to no avail, after noticing a few days ago that Dinamo's Font Gauntlet is down (at least for me). Having become entirely reliant on it, for being so perfect and leaving nothing to desire, I now find myself at a loss of alternatives to test fonts quickly. I find FontGoggles rather clunky, less user-oriented and more targeting font engineers. That's great for lots of test cases, but not for testing fonts from a user's perspective.
So, I want to inquire: what font testing software do you use? Preferably an (online) type tester similar to Font Gauntlet. Variable font support, show all glyphs, OpenType features, metadata inspection... I'd be curious to hear and gather resources. Thanks!
