Feature Request: floating type sample
Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2016 8:56 pm
Thanks for a great product.
One feature I enjoyed in a competing product is the ability to generate a "floating" type sample. Basically, it's a transparent (no background color) "popup" containing the user's selected sample text that can be overlaid over anything else on-screen. User can make the typical sample text selections (color, weight, etc.).
It's an easy way to comp because, instead of having to jump between programs and select text in a design app, a designer can just launch floating samples from the font program (like MainType) and overlay them on the targeted design for a quick check to see if the font will look good.
