RBrasill Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 @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. FontVisual 1 Link to comment

Guest Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hey @keijzers @LauraBennettDesign @RBrasill I have found this https://fontpeek.com/ Link to comment
laurenkilbane03 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 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!

derricksrandomviews Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 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/ Link to comment
laurenkilbane03 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 @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? JoannaR123 1 Link to comment

For any questions, you may send an email to support@fontvisual.com. Thanks! Msue and laurenkilbane03 2 Link to comment
BradleyK Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 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? Link to comment
