This program facilitates comparison of various font and font rendering 
parameters.

It displays the same line of text in sizes from 5 to 36px simultaneously and 
allows changing of font size range and increment, hinting, autohinting, 
anti-aliasing, subpixel smoothing, and aspect, immediately showing the 
changes on the screen.
