Very good, but needs a option for resizing. I've tried looking at monospaced fonts and couldn't see them at a size that a monospaced font would actually be used (default is huge).

Looks great in Chrome, completely broken in Firefox: https://i.imgur.com/XRMgcHp.png .

Hey SEMW, Sorry about that. The missing character detection can be a little finicky. Can I get a browser version / OS?

Looks the same for me.

  * Firefox 47
  * Debian unstable
  * freetype 2.6.3
  * fontconfig 2.11

I'm not sure how I feel about all these different phrases. I think it's easier to pick out which font I like when all the phrases are the same. The phrase "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" had been a great one because it contains every character in the alphabet so you can see how every letter will look at once.

Beautiful redesign! Very cool functionality with the inline editor and contextually revealed selectors.

...but they prevent you from right-clicking to open fonts in a new tab. I can already click into a font by regularly clicking, did they need to override right-click functionality as well?

Equally broken for me on Firefox 46.0.1 on Kubuntu 16.04.
