Web fonts have been available to Blogger users since late last year, when Google introduced 32 ready-to-use typefaces to spice up your blog's design.

The Rather Difficult Font Game tests your ability to recognize typefaces by showing you a piece of text and then four font names. Your job is to correctly choose the correct typeface.

You get up to three columns, and therefore three different fonts can be displayed on-screen at the same time. It also includes a bunch of other cool typesetting features, like a full-featured character map, and advanced options like line-height and text-transforms (for example, SmallCaps). ...
