Yes, I use opentype.js for this purpose.


Very cool! I didn't know about OpenType either, looks like a very fun exercise in drawing.


This is a very good idea. Thanks for sharing it. I'll definitely implement it for the next version.

For font-picker, we have enough horizontal space. I might add another sidebar where you can preview and search font-families. I'll redesign the UI for the next version.


Yeah, I tried a few combinations of dominant-baseline and text-anchor attributes, but couldn't find a combination that works for all emojis. I need to find SVG set of emojis to fix this problem instead of using them as a simple text. I'll look into this in the next version.


Sorry about that. Will update the tool in a few days to include a font-size selector.


Thanks for reporting these issues.

Emojis are using the native emoji list from your machine. I should check the emoji-picker documentation to see why this happening. I'll see if I can find an emoji picker that returns SVG. That would solve this issue definitely.

Regards sizing, yeah, the text size is fixed at 80px. I'll add a control to change the font-size in upcoming updates.

Glad you like it so far. Will try to improve the tool soon.


I might create a list like Google Font where you can preview all fonts for your Startup initials or search for a specific one. This should be a better UI than the current one I guess.


Yeah, the dropdown is not very well accessible. I'll use another autosuggestion component or improve this one for the next update.


This is on my todo list. Will add this one soon (maybe next weekend)


Exactly. Sorry about that, should have included this one before sharing it here. I have font-size support for version 2.0, but I might be able to update the tool during the weekend to add font-size and a couple more minor issues.


Thanks for reporting this issue. Currently, the font-size is fixed to 80px. I'll add an option to change the font-size in version 2.0.


Would be great if the font weight could also be changed then!


Font-weight and italic is also in the list ;)
