Small font help center for small font workflows
Welcome to the small font help center. Here, you'll find step-by-step instructions for common tasks, error troubleshooting, and best practices for using small font tools. Whether you're adjusting font sizes, exporting CSS for your design system, or optimizing for accessibility, these guides ensure your small font implementations are pixel-perfect and compliant with 2025 standards.
How to generate small font previews
1. Enter your sample text in the textarea on the home page.
2. Adjust the font size slider (8-18px range for small font).
3. Preview the output in the live area below.
4. Copy the generated CSS snippet for your project.
Tip: For best readability, keep line-height between 1.2-1.5 and test on mobile devices.
Troubleshooting common errors
Preview not updating: Ensure JavaScript is enabled in your browser. Refresh the page and try again.
CSS copy fails: This is usually a clipboard permission issue. Manually select and copy the code from the pre tag.
Styles not applying: Verify that /assets/site.css is loaded in your HTML head. Run 'npm run tailwind:build' if using locally.
Language alert not showing: Check browser language settings or clear cache.
Exporting for design systems
1. Customize your small font settings (size, line-height).
2. Copy the CSS snippet.
3. For Figma, use the exported values to create text styles.
4. Integrate JSON tokens into your design system config for team consistency.
Pro Tip: Use the generated letter-spacing (0.02em) for better small font kerning on high-DPI screens.
Accessibility and small font best practices
- Always ensure contrast ratios meet WCAG 2.1 AA (4.5:1 for normal text).
- Test small font on real devices, not just simulators.
- For multilingual, consider RTL support for Arabic and font fallback for CJK languages.
- Avoid small font for critical information like error messages or legal text.
