Does anyone know where the type testing site for kerning pairs in a few different languages is located? It used to be here: https://www.musictypefoundry.com/text-font-testing/ and the same thing was also on another site. Thanks.
Thanks Justing! Btw: Does anyone has free hosting for me? hahaha
There are many companies these days that will host static websites for free. I use Netlify because it integrates nicely with Github. Whenever I update the source repo for my site, Netlify pulls the update and runs a build command to update the live site. Some other free options I looked at include Render, Cloudflare, Vercel, and Github Pages.
Haven't but glanced at the source code, but since the site states it does the preview in the browser I imagine the PHP is just for easier page templating of the various script pages. Jekyll can do the same statically and hosted for free on github, in the same spot that content additions could be submitted.
Do you mean Lasse's specimen generator, or a clone of Pablo's site? Link?
I remember I used Mustache.js and then something similar to recreate some of the more complex original testing pages but wasn't too happy with it overall. There are not pushed commits on some out of order laptop of mine ...
If there's interest I will find it.
UPDATE: There's a way to get it running. But all in all it would be a day or two to create a current state up-to-date and accessible evaluation version. Then another week or two to bring it into a form that could be developed further. This would likely be a hard fork from the specimenTools, or at least a new version that is not backwards compatible. I'd hard-copy all bower dependencies and remove requirejs in favor of Javascript-Modules.

Its mostly html css and Js. Php is only used for the "Tools" section Php is easy for me, so I can changes or implements new tools in seconds.
Other thin I do is to REJECT a loooooot of suggestion of new content... Part of the Charm of the tool is that is FUN to use... To keep it fun, it needs to be fast and easy. And if I had accepted every suggestion it wouldn't be fast any more.. since no one want to check 200 taps of content. Keep that in mind whoever will be in charge of maintaining the port.

If you want to use it in your own web hosting, it's super easy!
Just upload it into any folder, and thats it! Not configuration required.
