Viewing TTF fonts using JavaScript

[SgtBadass]

I'm looking for a way of having the user input some text, then choose a TTF font and size from a drop down and click a button to show the text in another part of the page rendered in the font and size.

Anyone know how this is done or got a pointer to a tutorial or example?

Yes - you would access the style property of the element that contains their text. Something like (pseudo-code):

var yourEl = <get a pointer to your element>
...
yourEl.style.fontSize = <set the font size>
yourEl.style.fontFamily = <set the font family here>
...

Cheers,
Jeff
