Runs on your server *

No exotic server software required. With PHP 5 and GD 2 or higher plus FreeType (all present on most servers), TypeShow will do a charming job. Written from scratch to run fast, it even works on shared hosting.

Integrates with your site

Add a few lines of HTML to your site, customize your interface controls and colors with CSS—and TypeShow looks as if it had always been there.

*) rendering quality and features like kerning support depend on server configuration.

Fully customizable

TypeShow allows you to make your own background and overlay images for thievery protection and of course for great looks.

Label your work

Put a non-distractive copyright caption on your generated samples: TypeShow comes with fresh custom pixel font TypeShowType by Jan Fromm. Of course, you can also use your own pixel letters.

Manage and monitor

TypeShow lets you manage your options, fonts, visual themes and statistics through a clean and intelligent backend interface. If you wish, TypeShow lets you track all of your visitors’ activities.

Great user experience

TypeShow’s default front end is a carefully tuned ajax user interface: Instant refresh of the font sample, unobtrusive user feedback, no unnecessary controls or functions. It even works great on the iPhone!
