A stand-alone webpage that flips through the glyphs of a font. The page uses opentype.js to achieve this, it is in the header so no internet connection is needed.
Like the included opentype.js this software is licensed under the MIT license.
Open the HTML page in a browser and drop a font on it. It will read OTF or TTF, static and variable.
Pressing the Space key on your keyboard pauses/resumes the animation. Pressing either arrow left or h moves ten glyphs back, and pressing either arrow right or l moves ten glyphs forward. Pressing either arrow up or k moves one glyph forward, and pressing either arrow down or j will move one glyph back.
HyperFlipBX90000Dominator will display the most common axes present in your font, if your font is variable.
The control panel will become invisible when you move out your mouse cursor.
If you like a negative rendering there is button for that.
If you want to see some information about the font there is a button for that.
If you want to see some information about the currently displayed glyph there is a button for that.
If you want to see the vertical and horizontal metrics there is a button for that.
In the upper right corner there is a Fullscreen button. It full-screens HyperFlipBX90000Dominator.
In the control panel there is a Randomize glyph order button. It randomises the glyph order. Press it again and it reverts to sequential glyph order.
Once you have found a setting you like you can let it animate.
