What is flipping typical?

A way to explore the popular typefaces you have on your computer.

My favourite font doesn't show up, wtf?

Click the font name in the black bar at the top of the screen, type in the name of a font, it will become the main font and will be remembered for the future. If that doesn't work, please let me know.

Wait a second, this is in my web browser, how do you know what fonts i have installed!?!

We create some hidden elements and measure them before and after changing their font-family. It turns out that this isn't a new idea.

Anything else?

Just a couple of keyboard shortcuts: control-b = bold, control-i = italics

What should this work on?

Firefox 2+, Safari 3+, IE7+. OS/X a fair bit nicer than Windows.

Who is responsible for this nonsense?
