sinhala-font-testing-page

The Sinhala Font Testing Page (Beta) is a tool primarily intended for our internal font testing purposes. But is is can be used by type designers and independent foundries to 'Drag and Drop' their work in progress into a browser and test Sinhala fonts. It can also be used by art directors, graphic designers, teachers and students interested in seeing how a typeface works on the web.

The testing texts for Sinhala script is not developed, properly, so the text samples are just public domain text for now.

Operation is simple:

  • First, you must accept the request from the browser.
  • Then drag the font you want to try to the upper area of the Testing Page
  • Add more fonts and you'll see their file names and file sizes as buttons

Below the drop area you see some buttons to select different layouts:

  • Headlines: Displays examples: 72, 60, 48, 36 and 30 to 12.
  • Text: Displays text blocks, from 20 to 10.
  • Words: Displays words, from 20 to 10.
  • Layout: Displays examples of Headline, Subhead and Body text.
