Sadly, I could not get the font and table test wizards to work in Opera - it throws a JavaScript error. And for some reason JS has stopped working on my version of Firefox! I think I have overextended the extensions!!
OTOH the Typography Crash Course Roundup has a link to Typetester that does much the same thing as the font “wizard”, and gives useful side-by-side comparisons. This one works in Opera 8.5.
Cordially, David.
