I don't know if it's just me but I find myself skimming through my font library every time I am about to design a new wordmark. And the fonts that I end up using are mostly the ones that are already activated/installed on the system.
These are the fonts that proved themselves through the test of time by staying activated and used over over again (some of them are default fonts installed by the operating system but you know what I am getting at).
So I built this simple tool for checking out a wordmark with the fonts installed on your system. Use it before diving into the font management program to activate more fonts. Give it a try, and spread the word if you like it.

Does the site report back to you with a list of what each user has?
- Can't see that it does, unless you've got something magic in your swf. You should. Then do a monthly top 10 list..placeholder
- No it doesn'tfahrio
- that would be cool to list the top fonts, but you won't be able to see the fonts unless you have them installed.fahrio
- Sure, just plain html text and bar grtaphs though, maybe? Good work, man.placeholder
- Yes, that will fit just fine, I'll try to improve it if it gets some attention. Thanks.fahrio

Handy for illustrating the benefits of font-embedding &c to clients too—encourage them to visit the site and see for themselves the dire inadequacy of their office computer's font directory.
- Oh. Hold on.

@dbloc... seriously? The fonts that are shown are ones you already have on your machine.
