Drawn as strokes, not outlines
A single-line font is a path for a pen, laser or blade. Previewed as a normal font it shows up as hairlines or nothing at all. FontPreview draws each path as a stroke, so shoppers see the line their machine will follow.
Detected when you upload
Fonts are recognised from their name and from the outlines themselves: open paths, or closed “two-pass” paths that enclose no area. You don't have to tag anything. Each font gets a default stroke width you can tune in the dashboard.
Works with the builds you already ship
Hairline TTF, open-stroke OTF and OPF files all render correctly, including OPF's open TrueType contours, which other renderers close with a stray line.
No more vanishing letters
Single-line fonts often have small character sets. A missing letter usually renders as a blank gap, so a shopper typing a name thinks the font is broken. The tester lists the characters the font doesn't have, and for capitals-only fonts it suggests typing in capitals.
