Jo*****		 en 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.

Sh*****		 en Ok so I used it a few years ago. While it gets the job done quickly, the main problem is that it doesn't apply proper weights to the on-screen fonts. PS - snapfont does this quite well.
