Description: A first program using the experimental ServerApp module. Point this at a directory containing ttf files and it will use PerlMagick (Image Magick) to render provided text in a particular font. Useful when you have hundreds of fonts to "preview" for a particular word or phrase that needs just the right font - there is certainly much to be wanted feature-wise, this is an experiment and demonstration (you probably should use Firefox with this...)
