Testing Commercial Fonts for Free

by Rico on April 6th, 2008

So your client has given you a blank check regarding fonts: you can buy whatever you need for a project. But how do you get to test commercial fonts, especially those that are absolutely perfect for your needs? You can’t just buy them for testing, right?

Of course, fonts.com does a great job of with its font-tester feature. But what if you wanted to use the font in a draft composition? Luckily, the font-tester allows us to do this.

So, let’s go to fonts.com and search for a font…

We select a font from the results, and are presented with a web page displaying the font’s details. Once you click on the “Try Font “tab, you’ll be presented with the following:

Now it’s just a matter of typing in the text you need, clicking on Change Sample Text, and saving the picture generated. It helps to use large sizes, so that you’ll have an easier time removing the white background.
