How to see what fonts look like?

  • When trying to customize my site it seems that the menus used to select fonts do NOT include basic samples that reveal what they might look like. Given how many choices there are it’s hard to imagine that anyone would know what they all look like from other experiences.

    It seems like there ought to be some source that would show samples of each available font. Is it possible to see what each font looks like without having to actually select it and examine results on live site? If so where might that be found? If NOT is there a suggestion about which customization option might allow this to be done more rather than less efficiently? Hoping it isn’t necessary to Publish every one in order to see what they all look like!

  • Hello @aajax

    On the customize option on WordPress, you should be able to select the type of font, and it will update and show how it looks before you click update. However, this depends on the theme you are using. Am not sure if there are plugins for this.

    That sounds like what I called “having to actually select it and examine the results”. Looks to be a very tedious process if one were wanting to actually know what there is to select from. What would work is to have a printable page that utilizes each of the fonts with some demo text that would accentuate the appearance.

    “Having to actually select it and examine the results” is basically unusable.
