hi guys

here's on for you

how do font preview sites work? where you can type in text and get a .png preview after an automatic page refresh.

is their a website template that can be used to achieve this? or do you need to be a professional webmaster?

great site by the way.

thanks for any input

a .png preview i'd assume would be constructed using a scripting language such as php and an image library such as gd.

another way would be to use sIFR (flash replacement)

it's not the kind of thing i'd imagine you'd find a premade template for, although you could try googling for relevant tutorials
