: Is there software for comparing fonts side-by-side? Is there an application (or website) that allows you to select multiple fonts from a list and displays Lorem ipsum side-by-side for test purposes?

In addition to web sites, most font management applications have a feature to allow you to browse fonts in different manners.

I happen to use FontAgentProX. It has a "font compare" tab that allows you to highlight fonts (active or not) and see them side by side:



I'm sure Suitcase, FontExplorer, et. al. have similar features.

If these are web fonts that are hosted you want to compare you could use a service like JSFiddle or Codepen and in the CSS @font -face src:(http://foobar.com/thisfont.woff); you can add the fonts you want to compare against.

To learn how to use Adobe's Typekit you can reference "Using Typekit on your blog".

To use a Google Font:



There is a button called "Quick-use" when clicked will bring up after you scroll down:





If you are looking for a local solution locally I would use Suitcase Fusion but at work we use Universal Type Client which allows is made by Extensis. It even allows a compare feature to the nearest similarity of font you have if that is what you're looking for.
