Custom Samples
That Stick

We’re pleased (and relieved) to announce that we have finally addressed a top user request: persistent custom sample text.

This means that whenever you enter your own sample text at the top of any font page that text remains as you browse the site. Stroll through Search Result pages, Foundry pages, Category pages, or Font Download and Detail pages and you’ll see every typeface in your words of choice. You can even leave FontShop.com (but why would you?) and come back to find your custom samples are preserved.

Want to put the familiar “Handgloves” back on? Simply hit the “RESET” button to return to default samples. It’s all part of helping you find the font that fits.

What site feature should we add next? Let us know what matters most to you.
