Web Design Software Pick of the Week: CSS Type Set

CSS Type Set
It’s easier to view your typography and make changes to it as you watch, and the CSS Type Set helps you do that. You can set one of 10 font families, your font size (in pixels or ems), the font color, alignments, and other font styles. Then, what’s useful is you can change the letter spacing, word spacgin, and line height with sliders. You slide them back and forth to see how your font looks. I wish there were more font families to choose from, but the 10 they have are fairly common on the web, so at least you would know that most people could see the font you chose. This is a useful tool for quickly getting a sense of how your word-, letter-, and line-spacing affects your text.
