As far as I can see these are interchangeable, or is there a difference in definition between the two? If no difference, I suggest putting them all under "condensed".

The instructions in https://github.com/katydecorah/font-library#contributing require web development skills ("json commas missing, argh!&^%$")

I'd like to propose tag editor functionality, using the Github API (similar to www.prose.io)

1. Click the 'contribute' button at the top, same as today
2. see a modal with which to log into github (https://developer.github.com/v3/oauth_authorizations/#get-or-create-an-authorization-for-a-specific-app)
3. display https://raw.githubusercontent.com/katydecorah/font-library/gh-pages/families.json as a simple table with 2 cols, the families in col 1, and the tags list as a single comma separated string in col 2, where each cell in the col body is an editable 'text' form element (<inputtype="text" name="$family-tags">), Or, something better, designed in harmony with the current UI :)
4. display a progress bar somewhere, showing the progress of checking if the $user/font-library repo exists (https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-your-repositories)
5. and if not, cloning https://github.com/katydecorah/font-library into the user's account (https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/forks/#create-a-fork)
6. somewhere have a <submit /> button, that makes a markdown unordered list of the families that are updated, converts the form data back into the JSON format
7. branch the repo (https://gist.github.com/potherca/3964930)
8. commit the JSON to that branch (https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/#update-a-file)
9. make a pull request to https://github.com/katydecorah/font-library with the md list as the pull request text (https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/#create-a-pull-request)

First of all - thank you for this brilliant library!
I'd love to have a custom preview to quickly show a custom text in the desired font. Other than that - great work so far!

https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/master/tools/font-metadata.csv has metadata you can use :)

Perhaps have 2 views of the left side tag panel, the current one, and a table form where the number of items is in a col, and then the tag label in a col, and both cols can be sorted like http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/

Great work. I'd love to see this extended to include Adobe Typekit who's font bowser is woefully inadequate.

When filtering for weights, the weight isn't actually shown:

But it should be:

http://fontapp.org / https://github.com/jeroenbreen/FontApp offers a better previewing system, and you could integrate something like it

Looks like the filter controls are hidden underneath the header when the gear icon is not toggled on.

Chrome on Mac at a width > 800px it works fine. Chrome with width < 800px the controls no longer have the header above them to hide under, so end up pushed over the tags.

Safari doesn't seem to hide the controls at all.

Firefox on mac acts like Chrome, except the controls seem taller than the header, so a small amount is still visible.

Possible untested fix: putting controls inside a container with overflow: hidden.

The new filters are great by the way!
