From the original README.MD

The Font Testing Page is a tool primarily intended for type designers and independent foundries to 'Drag and Drop' their work in progress into a browser. It can also be used by art directors, graphic designers, teachers and students interested in seeing how a typeface works on the web.

There is a short video demonstrating this tool, http://vimeo.com/40296571

Operation is simple:

• Drag the font you want to try to the upper area of the Testing Page
• Add more fonts and you'll see their file names and file sizes as buttons

Below the drop area you see some buttons to select different layouts:

• Headlines: Displays examples: 72, 60, 48, 36 and 30 to 12.
• Text: Displays text blocks, from 20 to 10.
• Adhesion: Shows examples using only 'adhesion' text. Intended for the early stages on a typeface design.
• Hamburgefonstiv Examples using 'Hamburgefonstiv' text.
• Lowercase only: Displays examples of 72, 60, 48, 36, 30, 24, 18 and 16 to 10.
• Caps: Displays examples of words in Sentence Case at 60.
• All Caps: Displays examples of words in All-Caps at 60.
• Layout: Displays examples of Headline, Subhead and Body text.
• Kern: Displays examples of combinations of letters and miscellaneous signs.
• Latin: Diacritics for 103 Latin languages, pangrams and text samples.
• Non-Latin: Examples in arabic, armenian, greek, hebrew and +10 Non-Latin languages
• Hinting: Basic Char-set at different sizes to check for hinting problems

Notes:

• Requires Firefox or Chrome
• 100% safe: Your fonts are only stored in your own browser (using localStorage) and nothing gets uploaded to any server
