Tool to compare fonts at a normalized typographic size.

Demo (external)

• Latin Version (English)
• Arabic Version
• Greek Version
• Hebrew Version

Features

• normalizes typographic size
• normalizes baseline position
• script-sensible sizing
• mode for all-caps setting
• detects installed fonts (script specific)
• testing with physical sizes (you need to input your screens specifications)
• allows to set line-height relative to typographic size

Current main limitation - Sizing the body text

• currently it is only possible to change the actual type size via the specification in global.js
  • which is indeed super anoying. Sorry, I should have fixed that by now :/
  • workaround: to quickly change the size use the reading distance field (double the distance, double the size)

Preview (Within the Adobe Arabic Regular font there is a slightly bolder version of the Adobe Minion)

One issue caused by the current technical model Different versions of Minion. They are differently scaled to accompany type designs of other scripts; Top: original setting; Bottom: scaled to the same x-height.
