The BX90000 Font Presenter Super Suite

This is a collection of three webpages that enables you to present fonts in three different ways.

HyperFlip BX90000 Dominator

Will animate single glyphs from the font you drop on the window.

WordMaster BX90000 Excelsior

Will animate words rendered in the font you drop on the window.

GalleyProof BX90000 Zenith

Will render a column of text in the font you drop on the window.

License

Like the included opentype.js this software is licensed under the MIT license.

Requirements

These pages needs to be served with the http_server webserver component from Node, so this must be installed before using these pages. The serve.sh script will detect and alert you if this component is not installed.

The serve.sh and serve.bat scripts are configured to find and use the Chrome browser.

An internet connection is not necessary.

How to use the BX90000 Font Presenter Super Suite

Execute the serve.sh (Linux or MacOS) or serve.bat (Windows). These scripts will check for the presence of the http_server, warn you if it isn’t installed, otherwise proceed with detecting your operating system, finding the Chrome executable, and open the index.html in an Incognito window.
