It is a very useful application specially when trying to decide "which font to use" for a specific text as it can "display outputs of a custom text with various fonts" in a grid.

The application has support for TrueType, OpenType & Adobe Type1 fonts.

NexusFont can help installing/uninstalling fonts, finding duplicates, anti-aliasing, renaming & more.

Also, it can export the preview lists as images which is a nice feature when sharing the options with clients, colleagues, etc.

Once clicked, it overlays a menu with web fonts, font-variants, weights, text-transform properties, size/height entries & an element selector to target specific elements.

At this point, every clicked property instantly updates the selected element.

The overlay screen also has an @font-face support which makes it possible to test non-standard fonts by simply drag'n dropping them.

To sum up, the bookmarklet is very functional for any web designer by removing the standard code editing + refreshing process.

It is simply a well-prepared HTML/CSS setup that displays most important elements like headings, lists, text in different colors/sizes, emphasis of them & more.

The download comes with the Georgia set by default & new typefaces can be configured by updating the CSS file.

Considering every font is becoming a web font with @font-face & web designers will probably be purchasing more fonts, analyzing how the font will be rendered becomes more important.

It combines the power of typeface.js, jQuery, the canvas, toDataURL, CSS background properties & real overlayed text to accomplish this feature.

TypeSelect is very easy to understand & implement. It is totally controlled via CSS & no server-side files are required.

It has support for double/triple-click selections, UTF-8 characters & gracefully degrades in IE6.

On the other hand, currently, it has some limitations like unselectable text in IE, not being able to use :hover or line breaks & few more.
