Except it's actually worse than typical frontends. It's maybe cleaner looking, but it doesn't allow you to test all font types at the same time.

http://www.network-science.de/ascii/ This one exists since 1996 and allows all fonts to be rendered. Option is very far on to top of font selection drop—down.

Edit: that to this

I did my own take on this that addresses both of your concerns: 1. Update as you type 2. Show all fonts

This incurs performance issues in long strings, but works great for most uses.
