Multiple Font Preview instead of dropdown #173

Open drasehat opened 3 years ago

Is there a way to make font preview show all fonts that uploaded in one set, not by select from dropdown ? thank you!

kontur commented 3 years ago

Hey @drasehat for the suggestion. I think I had something along those lines as a issue open here once, but decided it is somewhat too low on my list of priorities to keep, since the same thing can be achieve adding the fonts as separate Fontsamplers. I do see, however, how it would make it a lot easier to manage, so I will keep this open for the future 👍

If it makes any difference I'd also love to have this. I already have fontsampler sets configured for each family, and would love to change them to display as multiple samplers just by changing a parameter

Yes, this will make it a lot easier to preview the fonts.

Let's say there are 54 styles (3 widths, 9 weights with italics). The viewer will be annoyed to check the weights from the dropdown menu. Instead, all the styles can be shown at once, the user can just scroll to check how the text looks by keeping the text area separate from the sampler.

I ended up implementing the non-WP version to achieve this, but it was much harder than a shortcode would've been
