I am pleased to introduce 2652 True-type fonts with a 3D preview OF ANY TEXT (clic on the viewer and edit the example). You can save as STL with the Export Controls.
This tool is totally free and developed by myself.
You can use it for yourself if you have a few fonts on your system, and I even added a download link for the .ttf file. Note that I had to convert some files to TTF and some are still bugged with the excellent javascript library used to render them in 3D : Three.js . This turns out to be an excellent tool for 200Km/h makers !
Please give some credits and share the link ! (I need visibility to keep this website up)
On the other hand it can be used by my clients to choose a font and a text, they can save their "order" to a .stl file and transmit it to me by e-mail or keep the archive for whatever reason...
I recommend to use a computer instead of a mobile device FOR NOW... As I missed some time to make it responsive. Also the navigation can be better, but once loaded, it is pretty simple.

updated
added the FPS indicator and Export controls
some fonts do not work
Some .OTF fonts I converted to .TTF and some native TTFs are not working with Three.js loader.
I'll try to debug that soon, please accept my apologies,
I let the bugged fonts online for the moment, no time to clean that right now. -_-;
Beginners
Total beginners might wonder what they can do with .STL files (and .3MF when I'll have time to implement this extension)...
.STL files contain the description of "vectorial objects" : each Face is composed of Vertices and Edges.
All faces compose a Mesh.
A "mesh face" (in computer graphics) can be triangular or polygonal.
You can read about it on Wikipedia . Please support WikiMedia if you like their websites.
Playing with the style-sheet right now
Sorry for the mess around colors,
I'll go for a "Bright" style, black on white, like this Drupal theme.
Trying to forget that I like dark themes...
About /fonts privacy :
They're is no communication to the server while you are typing (aka AJAX).
This server doesn't track users via google analytics or other.
I don't keep track of your tests and you can loose your work with a actualization (F5 key).
Once loaded the left panel doesn't change while the right panel using 3 dimensions representation of your test is requested to the webserver but the text isn't stored.
I'll maybe make a TEXT input form soon to avoid retyping the text again and again, main default I found on top of lack of responsiveness.
