Create layout page that shows multiple fonts together for family comparison #47

This is an important feature that's missing as font weights are often used together and possibly on the same line, it's necessary to proof webfonts in a family together.

I discussed this with @impallari about a year ago and at that time he wanted to keep this tool per font not per family so I started Github.com/metapolator/ddt which yoy can try at testmyfont.com/demo

@davelab6 Wow nice! The typographic adjustment (font size, leading etc) is really needed, I've been slowly trying to add these features into the Impallari version!

Edit: is a view that shows different font styles and weights together, working yet?

Just use Google Chrome: Drop a few font, copy some text using one font, change to other font and paste the text... and voila!

I suggest to reopen this and rename it as 'Add a help tab, with help text and tips and tricks on how to use the tool'
