It doesn't show me any of my system-installed fonts! ??!! I specifically want to use one of my own custom-created fonts, but it just shows me tons of generic knock-off fonts. Bleah!

very slow.

Nice concept, but hard to see the fonts and would like the ability to update via multiple selectors. Also, no support for font weights. Check out "Previewer for Google Fonts" for a better solution.
