What Font Preview Tool does, with a checked example
Choose a Google Fonts family, replace the sample with the words you need to evaluate, and vary the displayed size and weight. The resulting browser preview helps reveal letter shapes, density, readability, and how headings or short passages may feel. A common mistake is treating weight numbers as visually equivalent across families. A weight of 700 requests the same CSS weight category, but one family's 700 can look noticeably lighter, darker, wider, or more compact than another's.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Sample text: Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
Font: Roboto
Size: 32 px
Weight: 700
->
Expected output
The preview displays "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow." in Roboto at 32 px with a requested font weight of 700.
The sample text is reproduced without changing its wording, while the family, size, and weight selections determine its appearance. This is a visual result, so the tool does not return a calculated width or an image encoded in the text output.
