I bookmarked your blog. I owe you a lot for this post! The Typetester helped me so much in choosing the fonts for the website I'm putting up. I even referred it to my colleague who's a web designer (Toronto-based), and he also loved it. He said it saved him a lot of time.

Although Typetester is not a site that I would visit daily, I commend it for its contribution to web development. Toronto web developers find this very useful, I'm sure, since a big part of their work is focused on typography.

My friend told me that there goes a saying that 95% of a website's design is typography. Are you familiar with that?
