Font test/preview tool needed for my site

Hey guys,

i design and sell fonts. currently i am selling them on myfonts.com, creativemarket.com and youworkforthem.com. though i wish to create a squarespace site of my own to sell my fonts on

is it possible to create code or install a plugin that will allow me to give users of my website the ability to test and preview my fonts by typing in any word, adjusting size, spacing and the style of the font?

lots of other tyopgraphic designers have wordpress websites that use the plugin called font sampler http://fontsampler.johannesneumeier.com/

please also see Grilli type website how they let users test their font before buying - https://www.grillitype.com/typeface/gt-super

if anyone has any solutions for use on a squarespace site i would be very interested

thank you!!

Following! Looking for this exact same feature. Let me know if you have any luck @keijzers

@keijzers did you ever figure out a way to do this? I am looking at doing something similar. I create custom signs and I would like my customers so be able to sample how the names or words they want to use would look with the fonts I use.

I found another website has something similar: https://www.babymaes.com/products/font-preview-tool

I would love to know if this is a possibility.

Hi, If you haven't solved this yet, you can post on some FB groups: Squarespace Rockstars, Squarespace Entrepreneur, Squarespace Community, Squarespace Customization Resource Groups.
 

Hey @keijzers @LauraBennettDesign @RBrasill

I have found this https://fontpeek.com/

Hello! I'm also looking for help with this font preview feature. "Font Peek" is a bit pricey (and I'm having some trouble with their free trial)... so I'm hoping there's a less expensive way to achieve this, if possible. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

This information may be helpful to you, there is a section on selling fonts thru your own website:

https://ivetriedthat.com/how-to-sell-your-font/

@derricksrandomviews That article has some great resources. Thank you! I'm still looking for a plugin or code that will allows me to create the font preview tool (something customers can use to test my fonts before they buy). I know that it's easy to install on other platforms... just wondering if it's possible through Squarespace?

I'm in the same exact situation. Any new developments regarding this @keijzers and @LauraBennettDesign?

Hi!

If you're looking for a font preview tool for your website, please checkout https://fontvisual.com

You can create font preview links that you can share to customers, add to your site, or even embed as code.

For any questions, you may send an email to support@fontvisual.com.

Thanks!

Can Font Visual be removed easily from Squarespace?

Can you suggest any live site examples using Font Visual?

Is it possible to add code to the shop pages — seems very restrictive so I doubt this is possible.

Are there any other options out there for a font preview tool?
