Just found this and thought I'd pass it along.

Interesting, but it's not previewing all my active fonts (I'm on XP).

How does this work, especially with fonts activated with Suitcase?

Works fine on my G5 running 10.4.11. It requires the flash plugin. I just tried it on my Winders box running Windows 2003 server using FireFox browser and all my installed fonts work.

Black Mac Book, 10.4.11. This is not Helvetica by any stretch of the imagination. There's nothing wrong the font, I wonder why it previews this way...

Wow just noticed that myself. Could be it was built with an older version of Flash.
I just sent the person who put it online an email asking him to come on over and explain.

It will be interesting to see if there's a fix. It's not just the font I highlighted that it's happening. I changed the default font for Firefox and it's still happening. I hope there is a fix, this could be a useful tool

I'm just wondering what is wrong with the font viewer in FEX or am I missing something?

What if you don't have FEX? When I'm working freelance I could be using anything and this would come in handy

Odd that doesn't work anymore, it used to. Guess we will have to wait and see if the developer replies to my email.

Jez, that's what I experienced. Some fonts displayed correctly, some just displayed as some sans-serif default.
