Do you want a simple way to view a piece of text in multiple fonts, and see the effect on them of CSS properties?

Try the new Font Previewer.

For example, text-underline-position:from-font for system, Noto, and SIL fonts (+Amiri and a few others) https://r12a.github.io/scripts/apps/showfonts/index.html?text=%D8%A3%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%8A%D8%BA%20%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%85%20%D9%81%D9%8A%20%D9%83%D9%84%20%D9%84%D8%B1%D9%8A%20%D8%A5%D9%86%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%86&fonts=Al%20Bayan%2CAl%20Nile%2CAl%20Tarikh%2CArial%2CBaghdad%2CDamascus%2CDecotype%20Naskh%2CGeeza%20Pro%2CMishafi%2CMishafi%20Gold%2CMuna%2CNadeem%2CArial%20Unicode%20MS%2CMyriad%20Arabic%2CTahoma%2CDiwan%20Thuluth%2CWaseem%2CDiwan%20Kufi%2CKufiStandardGK%2CSana%2CBeirut%2CFarah%2CArabic%20Typesetting%2CArial%2CCalibri%2CSakkal%20Majalla%2CSimplified%20Arabic%2CTraditional%20Arabic%2CSegoe%20UI%2CTahoma%2CAndalus%2CAldhabi%2CCourier%20New%2CSimplified%20Arabic%20Fixed%2CMicrosoft%20Uighur%2CNoto%20Naskh%20Arabic%2CScheherazade%20New%2CNoto%20Sans%20Arabic%2CNoto%20Kufi%20Arabic%2CAmiri%2CAref%20Ruqaa%2CBeirut%2CLateef%2CTahoma%2CWaseem&css=text-decoration%3A%20underline%202px%20tan%3Btext-underline-position%3Afrom-font%3B&lang=ar

You can take a snap of the settings to share with others by URL.

You can now apply CSS to text in a picker.

Open the dialog box by clicking on the CSS icon, on the right. The style is applied as you type.

The illustration shows the font window open at the same time (optional), allowing you to mouse over font names to change the font.

For example: https://r12a.github.io/pickers/khmr/index.html?text=%E1%9E%A2%E1%9E%84%E1%9F%92%E1%9E%82%E1%9F%92%E1%9E%9B%E1%9F%81%E1%9E%9F%E1%9E%9F%E1%9E%84%E1%9E%9F%E1%9F%92%E1%9E%80%E1%9F%92%E1%9E%9A%E1%9E%B7%E1%9E%8F%E1%9E%9F%E1%9E%B6%E1%9E%9F%E1%9F%92%E1%9E%8F%E1%9F%92%E1%9E%9A%E1%9E%B6%E1%9E%85%E1%9E%B6%E1%9E%9A%E1%9F%92%E1%9E%99&showFonts=true&css=text-decoration:underline%20tan;%20text-underline-position:under

PICKER CHARACTER APPS change

The control that used to split text into characters separated with ␣ by default now separates them with commas by default.

It's still possible to use any separator you want by adding it to the field pointed to in the image. It's just the default that has changed.
