Preview the font #1

First issue, but a very important one:

The app should have a preview of the font chosen from the sidebar, above the code snippets. Would help the user to preview what each font looks.

Yeah, I allready have this in mind, I just need to figure out how to preview the font without need install in the system! I think they can be imported on css and define a font-family! Another Idea how to preview that?

Maybe cache the ttf that's in the Google Fonts API, and if the user changes fonts, that cache is deleted and a new one is made.

Simply, you may embed web page component in the preview. However and regarding less the implementation of the preview, it should support preview with custom text entered by the user and that text should be controlled in size by the user too.
